TruPlay Alleges Google and TikTok Censor Christian Content, Urges Congressional Review
January 28, 2026
A Christian digital media firm that produces Bible-based video games and educational entertainment, is accusing Google and TikTok of restricting Christian content and has called on Congress to intervene.
Christianity Daily reports that TruPlay, in conjunction with the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), sent a five-page letter this week to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, saying that Google has used a policy titled, “Religious belief in personalized advertising” to reject dozens of the company’s advertisements since 2023.
In that letter, ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow wrote, along with senior associate counsel Nathan J. Moelker and government affairs director Mark Kelly, “In practice, however, Google applies its ‘Religious belief in personalized advertising’ policy to reject advertisements because they contain religious content, regardless of how the audience is targeted.”
The attorneys wrote: “TruPlay’s ads do not target audiences based on religious belief — they advertise Christian gaming content to general audiences interested in family entertainment, children’s education, and mobile gaming.”
According to the ACLJ, ads with phrases such as “Turn Game Time Into God Time,” “Christian Games for Kids,” and “Safe Bible Games for Kids” were rejected by Google.
The letter explained, “These ads target general demographics (parents, families with children, mobile game users) and geographic regions — not audiences selected based on religious belief. Yet, Google has continued to reject them under the religious belief policy.”
TikTok is accused of engaging in similar conduct after it allegedly permanently suspended TruPlay’s advertising account for what it called “repeated violations” of its policies.
The House Judiciary Committee is being asked to investigate Google and TikTok, with the ACLJ arguing that congressional oversight is needed to ensure equal access to digital advertising platforms and to prevent viewpoint-based discrimination against religious content.
