Google is a "cornerstone sponsor" of FOSDEM this year, which is being run entirely on Matrix, accessible on Android via Element, which has just been pulled from Google's Play Store. FOSDEM is in a week. This all makes perfect sense.

In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.

If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.

If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

We recently started using Element instead of Slack because it's end-to-end encrypted and ... not owned by Salesforce (who have contracts with Border Patrol, among other nonsense.)

What's up with this @Google@twitter.com?

Almost makes you feel like app store monopolies are a bad idea... twitter.com/element_hq/status/

If the Web had been invented today, Google and Apple policies would ban it from their ecosystems, because it’s not a walled garden under the control of a single proprietor as their policy demands. twitter.com/element_hq/status/

Don’t be Google

Google has lost touch with their roots. What they did today is the equivalent of banning a web browser because it could access unapproved sites.

Unfortunately, the only effective appeals process is raising a stir on social media. twitter.com/element_hq/status/

@balajis@twitter.com Not just business: @element_hq@twitter.com is used by the French and German governments. This is a slippery slope to censorship but also one that will lock in a number of US messaging systems which will further encourage a walled garden internet as even Western govts seek sovereign solutions

Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vec but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.

Shock: A group of House Democrats is seeking to ban the term “alien,” and thus “illegal alien,” from being used by federal agencies. trib.al/17jx6Mt twitter.com/BreitbartNews/stat #Democrats

Google's blocking @element_hq@twitter.com from google play appstore... preventing French, German, UK and US governments plus thousands of companies and universities because somebody said something in a chat room that they run on their own servers. THIS IS INSANE! element.io/blog/element-on-goo

I hope that this banning of @element_hq@twitter.com is a temporary mistake and rectified soon, it's used by open source projects, governments, universities... it's the best candidate to be the WordPress of messaging. element.io/blog/element-on-goo
