Jesus Christ, this is insane. When did it become unacceptable to say that genocide is bad?
The article says that the app description said something about "killing children".
It's not really surprising google removed it. I mean they could've just edited the description or whatever but... policy I guess.
Sounds like it will be back any minute.
Google probably doesn't have a stance here. They just sanitize everything for you to consume without a second thought. I wonder if it violated some children-related policies.
