Apple yanks Jew or not Jew app

Posted on September 16, 2011July 2, 2025 by Dissent

Shan Li reports:

After outrage from activists and religious groups, Apple has removed an app called Jew or not Jew from its App Store in France, stirring up more debate about the company’s content guidelines.

The app asks users to identify whether a French politician or other celebrities are Jewish.

The app is still for sale in other countries, including the US, where it’s priced at $US1.99.
