PragerU saw its app disappear from the Google app store Friday.
Google contacted PragerU to inform its developers that the app underwent a review that found “content or speech asserting that a protected group is inhuman, inferior or worthy of being hated.” As a result, the app was suspended from Google Play.
“We don’t allow apps that promote violence, or incite hatred against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with system discrimination or marginalization,” Google’s hate speech policy reads.
The Washington Examiner reached Google for comment.
According to PragerU, the suspension stems from its recently released documentary on Hamas. PragerU alleged its Dear Infidels: A Warning to America project is the documentary “that Google does not want you to see” because it is “spreading awareness about the significant threat radical Islam poses to our freedom.”
“Google is using Soviet-style tactics and attempting to silence us. According to Google, sharing the stories of a former Palestinian refugee, an Arab Muslim born in Israel, and brave U.S. Navy SEALs who witnessed the horrors of Muslim extremism constitutes ‘hate speech,'” PragerU said in a statement. “This is a blatant attempt to silence truth and censor speech.”

Founder Dennis Prager has previously butted heads with the tech giant, suing Google in 2017 for allegedly prioritizing left-leaning videos over those of PragerU. However, two courts ultimately ruled against Prager and in Google’s favor.
The PragerU app remains on the Apple app store and has a 4.7/5 rating. It falls underneath the “Education” category and features content for children as young as 4.
