    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.

      Whilst apps made straight from the country doing the killing (and often by people who do, support or encourage the killing) are perfectly fine.
