The conflict between Palestine and Israel continues to monopolize front pages and minutes on the news with continuous armed confrontations and each time a greater number of victims An increasingly media problem that also has its repercussions in the field of applications Y is that there are those who want to take advantage of it. So much so that it is now possible to find all kinds of tools and games about itFrom those that bet on the humanitarian to others that focus on the painful and still do more evident the hatred between these two peoples. Something that Google
And today it is known that the most used search engine company responsible for the platform Android has withdrawn from thestore applications and digital content Google Play a game that allowed bombing the Gaza Strip The game, which had the title Bomb Gaza, was released last day July 29, and surprisingly it achieved a considerable number of downloads in a few days after its release. In it, the player organized a air strike with bombs on buildings in Gaza All with the intention of wiping out civilians, terrorists and everything that got in the way of the bombs falling from an Israeli perspective.
Despite exceeding 1000 downloads in a short time, the title also began to accumulate Negative reviews and ratings by users of the platform. Something that has led Google to definitively veto the title, removing it from Google Play so that no new user can find it. However, there are still so many games and applications on this theme populating the application store, and with a character that can be considered anything but moral and respectful
It appears that Google has not given any extensive explanations about the removal of this game. Only a spokesman has been in charge of confirming to the English newspaper The Guardian that the game has been withdrawn for violating its usage policies , although without specifying which ones exactly.A movement that seems somewhat paternalistic, but that is not surprising after the complaints received by users and because of the sensitivity of the issue. Nor after knowing other cases in which applications have been withdrawn for reasons that are closer to morality than to violating rules of use, as was the case with Apple and the title that allowed the user to become a complete and effective marijuana dealer
For the moment the game Bomb Gaza is still available on Facebook , and other similar titles are present in Google Play, although Google also appears to be is in charge of vetoing them. A movement that may well go too far on the part of Google, if they effectively respect the rules of use of their application platform, but which is a relief for those users who have run into them and have protested their withdrawal.
Meanwhile, there are still applications where offer donations and even games depicting the bombing of the Gaza Strip but offering Provisions to the Palestinian people and not diminishing their population, as is the case of Gaza Hero
