Google play blocks gab, a far-right social network

We just told you about the German law against hate messages. But there are pages that take the fight against inappropriate content seriously. Google Play is very clear in its regulations. Inappropriate content is not allowed, and if there is, they will not hesitate to delete the application.

Google Play blocks Gab, a far-right social network

That is what has happened with Gab. It is a social network used by the extreme right-wing groups that so many headlines have generated by their actions in the United States. A social network that is protected by freedom of expression to share hate messages.

Gab removed from Google Play

The social network had already generated controversy for its logo, inspired by the Pepe frog (associated with far-right groups). And although it had never been particularly popular, in recent weeks it gained enormous popularity and users. Reasons that made Google Play decide to pay more attention to what happens in it.

After detecting a multitude of hate messages, the so-called Hate Speech in the United States, the decision was made to block the Google Play application. Although it is not the first that this happens, since in the past you have been denied access to the application store on more than one occasion.

The social network defends itself and shields itself by allowing freedom of expression. But his arguments do not convince Google. So it will not be possible to download Gab from the app store. Some have been disappointed, although it appears that the company is doing its job and shows that its standards are there to meet them.
