Where Apple and Google Transparency Begins





Welcome to AppCensorship.org!

The future hub for comprehensive monitoring of app availability across global app stores. Our mission is to bring unparalleled transparency and insight into the policies and actions of major app stores, focusing initially on the ecosystems of Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store.

For now, AppCensorship.org serves as a gateway to our ongoing efforts and findings, featuring a dedicated news page, brimming with our latest publications, research reports, blog posts, and interviews. exposing the censorship practices, arbitrary app store curation, and compromises with authoritarian regimes by tech companies.

In the future, we will fully integrate data and insights from our specialized projects—AppleCensorship, launched in 2019, and GoogleCensorship, currently in development—to offer a unified and interactive platform. This integration will allow you to access, compare, and understand the intricacies of app availability, censorship practices, and policy implications across the two largest app distribution platforms in the world.

Until then, we invite you to explore our current offerings:

  • You can already use the App Store Monitor (ASM) to check the availability of any app across all 175 App Stores operated by Apple globally. For this, please visit AppleCensorship.com.
  • Engage with our latest content: Stay informed with the project’s latest news and reports and join us in our quest for digital transparency.
