Apple removes games that show Confederate flag

Apple is actively removing games which contain the Confederate flag. The flag is frequently connected to the recent shootings in an American church. Many games about the American Civil War are no longer available in the App Store.

The Cupertino software giant follows the example of many other companies such as Warner Bros and Alibaba that no longer sell Confederate paraphernalia. The Confederate flag is a flag from the American Civil War and is for many Afro-Americans a symbol of slavery and repression.

Dylann Storm Roof, the American gunman who shot 9 people in a church in Charleston posed with the flag on several different pictures after which discussion about the flag escalated.

After all commotion Apple decided to take measures and the company now removes all games that show the flag, including games about the American Civil War. These games show, like most mobile games, the flag from a historical perspective.
