Article makes no mention of what 900+ million Hindus may feel about the whole thing. It's possible the author doesn't even know what the swastika is, or that he is willfully ignorant because "Indians and Asians live somewhere else".
How about using the term Hakenkreuz or something similar to represent the anti-semitic meaning and stop appropriating the term Swastika?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
Interestingly, a recent news story on several buildings in Northwest Texas that incorporated swastikas in their design, interviewed some experts who explained that it was specifically the "tilted cross" design that was used in Nazi symbolism, and the non-tilted versions are more likely to be benign, Native American or Asian usages.
And of course this app gets it wrong, and avoids the benign uses, because it is quite impossible to render a "tilted swastika" image on a QR code! Absurd!
I can see this being a useful feature for some people in some situations. It's a pity it doesn't detect an angled one, which is the variant the Nazis mostly used.

Do the version of "your parents using slang" to make it uncool

We need a crate that suggests something inappropriate in QRs instead
The conversation here is depressingly juvenile.
