BANNED from Microsoft App Store with Offensive Content
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2018 11:36 pm
We are sorry for any inconvenience but Microsoft has decided to unpublish "Official Police Scanner Radio" due to Offensive Content as defined by their policy,
11.5 Offensive Content
Your app and associated metadata must not contain potentially sensitive or offensive content. Content may be considered sensitive or offensive in certain countries/regions because of local laws or cultural norms. In addition, your app and associated metadata must not contain content that advocates discrimination, hatred, or violence based on considerations of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, status as a veteran, or membership in any other social group.
We are working with Microsoft to identify what they find offensive.
It seems to have something to do with our app's screenshot and in-app graphics. We are guessing that they do not like a Police line as this might be too much for people to take in this political climate.
Odd since they have no problem having apps like Grand Theft Auto on their app store. Nothing offensive in there I guess.
