In Australia, the previous government put a really awful censorship algorithm in place.
Let's see what it censors.
Gambling apps. They spend a lot of time censoring trash tier apps which probably no one uses, although who really knows.
I'd be more ambivalent about it, although I know it creates a justification for keeping this terrible algorithm.
"アルカナコレクト"
Random anime themed game. Why? Who knows. Maybe, it's because algorithms tend to be systemically racist and puritanical.
The previous government was xenophobic and scared of immigrants. It comes with the territory.
"Drugz Demo"
A game about running a "criminal empire" and "trading drugs". Really?
"World Z"
I can't find this. This sounds like a zombie survival game. It probably is a zombie survival game. Maybe, it committed the cardinal sin of "containing drug references".
"Dirty Wars: September 11"
Someone doesn't want you playing a game critical of Augusto Pinochet?
"The Last of Zombie"
Banned for "gambling elements". Presumably, there is a gambling machine inside the zombie game?
Or it might be an over-zealous anti-gambling algorithm. See how that fixation with gambling easily bites back?
"Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones"
Lovecraftian horror.
"Freud’s Bones"
A video game where you play as Sigmund Freud.
As a warning, a lot of Freud's ideas are discredited in modern psychology, although it's not so bad in a video game.
The ban was removed eventually, although it's no consolation, when you notice they can't be bothered to get off their asses to remove the majority of these other ones.
"Weed Farm"
Really?
"Anycards"
Deep inside this cards game, there is a joke about sex offenders.
"Grand Theft Auto VI : Online RP Server"
"Grand Theft Auto VI."
Probably drugs.
"Santa Vs Zombies"
A game where Santa fights zombies.
"BraCup"
A game where you guess the size of boobs. I told you it has a puritanical bias.
"Life is Strange 2"
Really?
