Google bans Gunbroker
 
Google is removing the Gunbroker App from the Play Store.

Quote:
Hi Developers at GunBroker.com LLC,
After review, GunBroker.com, com.gunbroker.android has been suspended and removed from Google Play due to a policy violation.
Issue: Violation of Dangerous Products policy.

We don’t allow apps that facilitate the sale of explosives, firearms, ammunition or certain firearms accessories. We also don’t allow apps that provide instructions for the manufacture of explosives, firearms, ammunition, restricted firearm accessories, or other weapon

This doesn't surprise me.

Thought you guys all used flip phones ??

What would a gunbroker app do that a normal website couldn't? Most "apps" I see are nothing more than crappy home-spun web browsers in a walled-garden.

App... I can't even stand their mobile version

I dunno what google play is but I've never used it.

I want nothing to do with anything that has the name "Google" attached to it.

This.

And I write phone apps ... but never to substitute for a properly designed site.

It is their app store. Unlike the walled garden of Apple you can use a 3rd party app repo on Android devices

Considering that Google is the go-to if you want to make your own explosives or IED, this seems rather ironic.

You may want to avoid Pelican then ;). You connect to their servers every time you visit here...incognito though.

Not if you're using the right browser extensions

A point that, if argued, I'm sure they would use the first amendment to defend. Funny how that argument only seems to go one way.

You must be a geek ;). I'm a lost cause...sold my "soul" to the devil years ago...so I don't even care....much :(. But if'n I could turn back the calendar 15 years....I'd have never asked that cute "hippie chick" to send me a gmail invite either :).

A big sucker
