Google removes app that helps people boycott pro-Israel companies

Just a reminder that folks are encouraged to review the rules in the sidebar. It's okay to disagree, but please keep it civil (rule 8). Thanks!

It was removed because of language used in the description which has been fixed. It was not removed because of what it did or what it was for.

There are plenty of legit things to get mad about. This wasn't one of them.

The app sadly doesn't appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.

Jfc can we defederate from blahaj? This is getting out of control

It's still on ApkPure and alike, so just another reason to avoid Play Store for net-neutrality.

I do not have any political opinion about it and try to keep myself away from the subject, but Play Store removels of non-virus apps are just Google shooting itself in the foot... again... 😅

Good! This is discrimination against a people group and against companies who are being unfairly targeted.

Imagine if this app let you avoid companies that supported Black people? It wouldn't be tolerated for one second.

This is exactly the same. Well done Google.

Will they also block apps that help you boycott russian or chinese companies?

(((Google)))

I think this is a click bail title. I'm pretty sure it was antisemitic.

Wasn't this an app that just boycotted business with ties with Jews? It would be wild if it wouldn't be deleted

Biggest Evil In American Politics? Kissinger?

Biggest Evil in American Entertainment? Weinstein?

Biggest Evil in American Finance? Bankman Fried?

Biggest Evil in Human Rights? Israel?

We sure are hitting the high notes in scapegoatism these days huh. And see how natural and easy it all feels

Blaming Jews is just right gosh darn it! Target the only Jewish state, it's only right!

Lay absolutely no blame whatsoever at the heroic freedom fighter Arab Islamic Terrorists who use suicide bombings, missiles, rape, beheading, eviscerating, burning against civilian populations for the last 70 years.

Poor little "Palestinian" cinamon rolls, never did nothin to nobody. Except want peace with Jews, ever.

Good. Terrorism support has no business in our world.
