This is why they want to remove installing apps from third parties. To control you more.

I've seen shit on X far worse than the shit in Doki Doki in literally every way possible. Why is their app still available for download? Fuck you, Google.
Maybe two companies deciding what apps are good for 99.9% of smartphone users isn't a good thing? Perhaps our trust has gone a little too far? I like your sentiment, it's time to be furious about this.
I mean, if they ban twatter, poor pedos loose the ability to conveniently generate csam, and pedos are pretty much a (the?) protected minority nowadays. Arguably, also applies to nazis, but assuming they can read is a stretch, so they can simply use any note taking app instead
Its Play listing was appropriately marked as “Mature 17+,” which means that children won’t be able to download it if their devices have parental controls. In addition, the developers clearly communicate that the game tackles serious issues. "This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" is the first line of the game.
Looks like the developers and publisher did everything right. Play has a ton of games where you kill people. Google's inconsistency shines again.

Streisand Effect incoming. I for one heard of it but thought it was a run of the mill JRPG. Think I'll check it out now.
It's insanely good.
Played it before, don't remember much, but it is good from what I remember.
So it begins
Ah, I love how google is protecting me and my fragile mind <3
because it violated its Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes.
This rule can't be legal for a gatekeeper.
Why not?
Freedom of speech not freedom of reach. New laws would have to be made that force private companies to publish the work of others with no restrictions.
Or not hinder 3rd-parties on their platform.
I wonder if FEX (Valve's X86 to ARM conversion software) could run this now on an android phone. The game's freely distributed on PC, so it should be easy to test.
After the recent judgments against Meta, it was predicted that there would be a crackdown on mental health topics. DDLC has been connected to a suicide in the UK.
