LONDON (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc’s Google has suspended a role-playing app
associated with the Hong Kong protests due to a policy that prohibits
developers capitalizing on ongoing conflicts, the company said on Thursday.
A Google spokesman said that “The Revolution Of Our Times” app, which lets
users role-play as Hong Kong protesters, violated a long-standing policy “
prohibiting developers from capitalizing on sensitive events, such as
attempting to make money from serious ongoing conflicts or tragedies through
a game”. |
