Google Now Bans Cryptocurrency Apps from the Play Store

Just like Apple, Google is also taking steps to delete cryptocurrency mining Apps from the Playstore. About 2 months ago, Apple updated it's guidelines preventing Apple users from doing calculations that rewards them with free virtual currencies unless it's done using the cloud.

Now, Google has also updated its developer policies related to the inclusion of Android apps for the Google Play Store. This consist of a list of features that will get apps banned on the Google Playstore. This includes apps that involves the process of cryptocurrency mining.

Google's new policy will also instantly ban apps that sexualizes minors or designed to appeal to children but include adult content. The new policy will also ban apps that promote hate speech, violence, self harm, discrimination based on various factors such as sexual orientation or gender.
