Google removes app that helps people boycott pro-Israel companies
Google removes app that helps people boycott pro-Israel companies
NoThanks was temporarily suspended from the Google Play app store due to a line in its description speaking about Israel.
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.
111So has the app been put back since the issue was fixed?
23I searched for it and didn't see it but one of the top results is "Boycott - Israeli Products"

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.
11Just 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!
10Jfc can we defederate from blahaj? This is getting out of control
5Just a heads up for folks - moderator removals unfortunately don't federate between lemmy and kbin. The comments @BolexForSoup@kbin.social is referring to don't appear for folks on the lemmy side. They're not imagining things!

Blahaj needs to lock down their registrations for a while, seen three different spammers flooding lots of comment sections within the past day or so registered on their instance.
I think it's a trolling group from a specific instance, if you inspect the location of the images attached in the comments
9??? Wrong post, mate

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... 😅

-3Good! 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.
-5If Israeli wasn't murdering Palestinians regularly, there would be no need for such an app. Imagine that.

-5Will they also block apps that help you boycott russian or chinese companies?
-8I kinda wanna make an app to boycott Xhina, except when you launch it it just says "throw your phone away".
5True true. Almost everything is made in china in some way or form.

0No they're the bad guys
0Yeah, I mean Putin and Xinny the Pooh are totally gonna peacefully give up power "tO tHe PeOpLe" one day.
They don't wanna be dictators for life, it's just that they have to.
Putin, the CCP, and all the others like them: totally-for-real-benign-and-not-violent-and-aggressively-authoritarian governments.
They're totally not the bad guys. /S

I think this is a click bail title. I'm pretty sure it was antisemitic.
-20From what I've read recently, any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemetic now and the Jews Bernie Sanders and Jon Steward are apparently the biggest antisemites of all.

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.
-24I didn't even know Kissinger was jewish, maybe I wouldn't include him on your lists because he's a huge fucking asshole responsible for a lot of deaths:

Do you really want to be associated with Weinstein and bankman fried? There's so many other Jews who contribute positively to the world.
Just because these people are Jewish doesn't mean they're worth defending. Associating with them is tying yourself to an anchor and vilifying yourself so your enemies don't have to.
11This operative is bad faith actor. Review his post history.
8Despite being ethnically Jewish, Kissinger was known to be pretty antisemitic and was sometimes called out for it by Jewish people.
This is just Downpunxx's latest copypasta though. He has been posting it all over the place since Kissinger died.
6If you didn't know Kissinger was Jewish, you must not be Jewish, and if you're not Jewish, but simply an ally, then shut the fuck up. When the world scapegoats Jews, Jews fucking die, and we're a bit tired of being made to be the ultimate in the sin of the world, because of all the, you know, Expulsion, Inquisition, Pogrom, Holocaust, Terrorism, and stuff. Again, do us a favor, and shut your whore fucking mouth. You have no idea the damage making Jews THE scapegoat causes.

Kissinger was openly anti semetic, he was jewish by birth and heavily and openly hated it.
