Yeah, in that case I understand.

They seem to only have a rule against dehumanisation of minorities, where the term is pretty clearly intended to mean minorities generally subject to persecution/bigotry:

4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.

I feel the ban is a bit over the top, anyway. I get the post being removed for being a bit too aggressive, but to immediately ban over (what I presume) is a first offence... I'd simply give a warning myself.

Yeah, I just left a review saying I don't want American Trump propaganda in my apps, and then just 'deleted' (sort of) the thing. Getting rid of Google entirely is going to be difficult, though.

I've not read the article, but checking this, it's actually in the Dutch version as well... Bunch of fuckers.

I'm not sure what you mean here. As far as spelling goes, Dutch is far more consistent than English.

You're mentioning some none-standard Dutch which is often perceived as incorrect (and it is indeed according to the rules of the standard language norm). Yet, if you were correct in your claim that 'groter als jij' was 'never proper Dutch and sound[s] wrong to every native Dutch speaker', no native Dutch speaker would ever use 'groter als jij'. Native Dutch speakers do this often, though, and have been doing it at least since the seventeenth century (eg. this quote from 1670: 'Zy [de vrucht ”Peci”] is niet veel groter als een kastanie …, vol sap en aengenaem van smaek: herder dan een gemeine appel, en een weinig zuurachtig,' - 'It [the fruit "Peci"] is not much bigger than a chestnut ..., full of juice and pleasantly tasting: harder than a common apple, and a bit sourish,').

Sorry to have gone so off-topic here, though.
