Apps including gambling element.

How they found gambling in a calendar app is beyond me.

Overall impression is that they were simply given a list of app urls and they had them block them without any right to question that.

Don't know about this particular incident, but in general gambling is very culturally integrated in Asia is found in many contexts you wouldn't see gambling in other countries.

The weirdest I've seen:
