- user5994461 6y agoThat example is pure bullshit. Apple and Google have banned applications about COVID since the world was littered with apps and scams trying profit from the COVID pandemic. The author is making a news app that's promoting COVID articles and content, so it got instant banned on sight. That's super clear cut and straightforward even though he doesn't like that. You really shouldn't call that censorship. You're making a disservice to countries who experience real censorship, where people risk their life for saying innocent things.
- SergeAx 6y agoThe app is just a viewer for this very website we are having a discussion at. And yes, there are articles on this site with COVID in text or even heading (oops, I did it again!). Banning app for showing this content among other is literally a demand for implementing China-like keyword censorship.
