Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without telling them why.

@moddedBear @hund I place my bet that it’s the auto mod gone wrong... but only by about 51%.
The other 49 is Google up to shenanigans.
@moddedBear @hund @spla I always loved the old song “blame the algorithm” 😂
@moddedBear @hund @spla Also they’re not going to ban Matrix.org in their infrastructure as an internet provider and/or in their networks as a company. I will be glad to see what will happen if Matrix.org ban them.
@hund this is bullsh*t, they're probably going to argue something about the content 🤦♂️

@hund and they said, quote: "the download in the F-droid Store is a few versions behind."
FFS! Then how about making it NOT a few versions behind? So reasonable people can tell Google to just fsck off?
@bjoessi It's just a bunch of bullshit. :D
@hund "abusive content" somewhere on a messaging app?
So, why don't they remove twitter, facebook, whatsapp and all that group?
@joacim I don't get it? :P
@hund Google. Android. Open.
@joacim Oh. I thought that he was sarcastic and the joke flied by my head or something. :D
@hund Google's moderation algorithm has been known to overreact to tiny issues and flat out get things wrong. Fingers crossed that that's all that's going on here.
