https://element.io/blog/element-on-google-play-store/ Element is opensource app that allows to connect to self-hosted messaging servers. Google banned this app, because someone posted something on his private server, using this app. As analogy i can draw, if they ban 121GW multimeter app - because someone brought multimeter and used it in a sanctioned country or used to make something illegal. Censorship and lawlessness of big companies is totally out of hands. |

(Google Play Protect. For now you can disable it, for now...) Or just can make it walled garden, like iPhones. Step by step. |
