Apple's French officials have removed from the online store an application which allowed users to guess whether someone was "Jew or Not Jew".
The decision was taken after a French anti-racism group criticised the app and suggested it violated France's laws against identifying people based on religion. SOS Racism threatened legal action if Apple did not comply and remove the app.
Under French law a violation of the prohibition could be punishable with a five-year prison sentence of a hefty fine.
However the app remains downloadable through Apple stores outside France.
