Controversy hangs over the system of repression against drugs that the Philippine government is imposing. Although the end seems appropriate, the methods are far from the respect for Human Rights that are presumed to almost any civilized country. And since Apple does not miss a controversy, it could not miss this one either.
This is the story of how after a letter from a non-profit association Apple has agreed to remove a video game from the App Store. It's pretty clear that the iOS app policy is fuzzy to say the least, as they keep giving us news about the heavy crackdown and the strict system of rules that Apple imposes on developers.
For both Android and iOS, numerous applications have been released that glorify the mode in the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has decided to eliminate drugs from the streets of their cities. Through challenges and euphemisms, these video games incited the exaltation of the revered character, a President who is involved in an important tangle of controversy due to his strict rules that are at least compromising. And it is that Apple also "points to a bombing", because eliminating these applications that are really video games (no more sodium than others already present) and they will not change the way of thinking of people.
Around 7.000 suspected of having contact with drugs have been executed in the Philippines so far this year, a catastrophic figure, but that has little to do with “Fighting Crime 2”, the game that tries to make fun of the methods that Duterte uses to theoretically tackle the problem. Be that as it may, the iOS App Store is significantly politicized, while applications such as "Location For WhatsApp" that are clearly scams continue to make cash by taking advantage of the most unsuspecting who walk through the App Store. It seems that such matters are of much less concern in Cupertino.
