Google removes 'Slavery Simulator' game from store after Brazil outcry.

TL;DR Summary
Google has removed a Portuguese-language gaming app called "Slavery Simulator" from its Playstore after it allowed players to buy, sell and torture black virtual "slaves," sparking a racism outcry in Brazil. The app had come with a disclaimer condemning "all types of slavery" and insisting the game was "solely for entertainment purposes." Brazil's ministry of racial equality has asked Google to put in place measures "to filter out content containing hate speech, intolerance and racism" and "to prevent it from spreading so easily, without moderation."
