The article says that the app description said something about "killing children".

It's not really surprising google removed it. I mean they could've just edited the description or whatever but... policy I guess.

Sounds like it will be back any minute.

Google probably doesn't have a stance here. They just sanitize everything for you to consume without a second thought. I wonder if it violated some children-related policies.
