“Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths.”

I just reported the egregious stifling of this young lady’s 1st amendment rights to Hair Twittler’s White House Snitch Line (1-666-NYET-COLLUSION)

Randomly my ass. Some fragile alt-Reich hypocrite, maybe several, reported it and these earnestly friendly jobsworths on Apple’s App review team danced to their tune like rats in Hamelin because they care more about appeasing fascists than recognizing context. They’re also morons if they think Trump resembles Hitler anywhere but on the inside.

Assuming that the Apple version uses the same icon, ‘some people “on the team”’ are FOS.

Yet another reason I don’t own Apple products. Just it purchased from the Android store. It’s really a nice game, very professional, fun, great art style and includes links to educational materials and progressive organizations. I encourage everyone to purchase it!
Thank you for making me aware of this game, Cory!

Would it help to throw heart-shaped kisses at Apple?

Seriously, if I started using the ‘n’ word in an ironic way to criticize racists, boing boing might ban me.
It seems Apple has a blanket ban on depicting things like swastikas and Klan hoods, even to criticize or mock them .
That’s what you get with Zero Tolerance.
Zero Tolerance is pretty popular these days, among all kinds of disparate groups.

Despite my first thoughts to the contrary, I don’t think it’s really about censorship or failure of gatekeepers (or algorithms) to understand satire. This, after I recently endured a 3-day Facebook ban for posting satirical content from the “pov” of conservatives (I literally re-posted word for word what a conservative had posted in one of the forums I moderate). Facebook, 2 days later, repealed the decision, I suppose after human review.
I think what’s going on is that Tim Cook and Apple are maneuvering through Trump’s political minefield, vis a vis the ongoing Trade War with China; Google has very little in that dog race.
[Edit]
Sure, one could also argue the evils of Apple being politicially cynical douchebags to shave off 5¢ per iPhone built by oppressed and wildly underpaid Foxconn employees.

Just remember kiddos:
By being critical of your rights being trampled, you are trampling the rights of others…

And protesting vile speakers is denying them their free speech. In reality people who protest fascist speakers are the real nazis.
