Google banning 'sugar dating' apps as part of new changes coming to Play Store

Google has banned "sugar dating" apps as part of a broad range of changes to its Play Store rules. Such apps allow people to find others to engage in "compensated sexual relationships", as Google puts it, wherein one party will pay someone to date them. Such apps and sites have become popular across the internet. There are a host of apps on the store with the name "Sugar Daddy", for instnace, and many more with more specific names. Many of them are explicit about what they are aiming to do, with one named Spoil offering to help people "find other wealthy sugar daddies who are looking for a discreet arrangement, and you can also meet other attractive girls who are looking for generous men", as PhoneArena notes.
