@nixCraft same thing happened on my company phone :/

@nixCraft Same happened to #AuroraStore. Maybe the results of the same heuristic algorithms that #Microsoft used to falsely identify #TorBrowser as a possible threat.

@nixCraft time to stop using Google Services

@nixCraft Honestly, Play Protect is mostly only useful if you install a bunch of random crap from all over anyway. All the stuff it I've seen it officially working to remove that was actually valid was from uber-generic apps that makes zero effort even to look legitimate.

@nixCraft "It is harmful to us."

@nixCraft I’ve got no problems with KDE Connect installed from Google Play Store. I’d say Google Play Protect has done the right thing when it uninstalled an unverified app installed from an unverified store, if you didn’t get it from Play Store? 🤔

@nixCraft Looks like it was installed from fdroid

@nixCraft real reason: "Google Play services detected that the application in question did not use Google Ad Services to display ads. As to our policy ads should only be shown using Google Ad Services. If the application does not show any ads it is also against our policy."

@nixCraft Sounds like Google Play Protect is a harmful app and should be removed.

@nixCraft I disabled play protect on my phone right after they released it, somehow I felt more protected after disabling it

@nixCraft wow, I thought Google Play couldn't get worse but they just had to prove me wrong.

@nixCraft they're simply begging you to de-gapps your phone at this point

@nixCraft probably because of the extent of permissions and sideloading? It would be annoying if there's no way to ask it to exclude it.

KDE Connect and Google Play have a rocky relationship. Better get it from F-Droid.

@argv_minus_one @nixCraft Why do they have a rocky relationship?

argv_minus_one, 7 months ago

@jabberati I don't know, but this isn't the first time I've heard of KDE Connect being booted from Google Play, and I don't remember there ever having been any explanation for why.

@nixCraft Wow XD

That's like macOS blocking GIMP and LibreOffice because they "couldn't scan it for malware" but allowing Microsoft Office without question.
