They have also banned multiple video games in Australia so I don't think banning an app will be a problem legally speaking.

Wow, that's pretty despicable.


Why?


A game is a no less legitimate form of expression than a book.


Australia has banned books too. [0]

The most recent example I know of is "The Peaceful Pill Handbook", which was banned around '07 by giving it a "Restricted Classification", which makes distributing or owning a copy illegal in most state and territories.

Banning books is certainly wrong, but to be fair to Australia - banning a book on assisted suicide is maybe not the worst thing
