Google rejected a historically accurate video game Attentat 1942 from Google Play because it mentions nazis

@matrix You can't show a swastika in Germany, it's illegal.

Don't you just love it how every western nation swears up and down that freedom of speech is a human right, and then deny it to their citizens?

What a time to be alive.

You can in certain contexts now and this game is one of them. It's approved and sold in Germany on Steam.

@matrix Wow, I didn't know that.
About time they relaxed those ridiculous rules.
Though it's still a long way from having freedom of speech in Germany, you can have your bank account seized for being "racist".
@ChristiJunior @matrix Months ago, actually.

Books get memory-holed off digital distributions, writers bullied to cancel their books, Google Drive deleted videos off someone's account without their knowledge, etc...

It's already happening, with a digital flame.
