‘A crime of hatred’: disgust over Brazilian mobile phone slavery game

Game in which users were able to buy and sell enslaved people, removed from Google Play store on Wednesday, elicits horror

Brazilians have reacted with horror to the news that a mobile phone game in which players were able to buy and sell enslaved people was until recently available to download on Google Play.

Dubbed the ‘Slavery Simulator’ (Simulador de Escravidão), the disturbing game also allowed players to inflict different forms of torture on black characters.
