Apple rejection of Indigenous app described as symptom of 'digital colonisation'

From what I can see this app lets you scan an AR marker (that you apparently have to buy) and then it plays back a movie. End of functionality.<p>I&#x27;m sure the actual movies are decent enough, but as an app there&#x27;s hardly any functionality and it does look like it violates Apple&#x27;s policy.<p>This has nothing to do with &#x27;digital colonisation&#x27; and everything with rejecting shitty money-grab made-in-an-afternoon apps.

This makes me wonder if Apple could let more of their app selection process be a crowdsourced function? Outside of illegal content or porn I can&#x27;t imagine why Apple should block anything on content grounds to satisfy their &#x27;walled garden&#x27; protective goals, and cultural content like in the OP is certainly relevant to the indigenous communities involved.
