Time for a p2p app store that works on all devices.
Right so when you have some childporn showing up, illegal material what are you going to do?
Are you in the habit of reporting serious crimes to the nearest advertising agency?
I guess the Scunthorpe problem is still a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
I'm just agog that people are still doing dumb pattern matching for profanity filters. I just assumed that YEARS AGO people realized how dumb it is, but apparently: No.

Can you explain why thats not the first thing that came to mind? Why are our realities so different?

Reminiscent to me of Call of Duty Warzone; it has loadouts which you can give custom names (that only you see!) which are protected with a profanity filter. Comically, some of the literal names of the guns are banned as being profane, like "MP5".
They fixed it in later versions, but I still have a "penetration" class because I'm immature that way.

What you're actually saying is: time for government intervention. There's no planet on which Apple or Google will voluntarily give up the revenue stream produced by their respective app stores. *If you're going to downvote me, at least provide some evidence that I'm off base. Google and Apple both refuse to allow other app stores and there's absolutely 0 recourse that doesn't involve the government stepping in. F-dro…
Just wanna make sure I got this right. "ASS", automatic instant suspension with 0 human review. "King's Throne: Game of Lust.", with advertised gameplay content such as "I, [the King], shall interrogate this female prisoner privately in my bed chambers", is one of the top advertised games on google play. Got it.
It's happened to two of my clients in the past 6 months based on small infractions in the app metadata, but no issue with the app itself.
In both cases the app was taken down with no advance notice, and eventually reinstated after an appeal and several very stressful days of waiting.
Apple seems to be very selective during the approval process, and is often inconsistent so a minor update can get rejected for something that was approved many times before. I guess different people review and interpret the rules differently so maybe this is unavoidable.
Google (from what I can tell) seems to take a very different approach and relies much more on automated enforcement. The process is on average much lower friction for the developer, but getting previously approved app listings removed at any time without warning is not a good experience.
Edit: I forgot to mention that you can't actually edit the metadata while the app is suspended and re-submit it for review. The only two choices are to appeal and edit the description after the app is reinstated, or create a completely new app listing.
