      “Not meeting the requirements for the Family Program”. However, it has been resolved one day later.

      I think it was something about Organic being in the wrong app category? Or maybe the wrong tag

      I find OM map visualization more appealing than Google Maps’. Former has more vibrant colours and much more details (thanks to OSM).

    I don’t think this is a malicious act by Google, yet alone intentional at all. (English is not my native language and I’m unsure of how this sentence turned out. Is my grammar correct?)

    Google uses a shit ton of automation on it’s services. Youtube being the biggest example with all the unfair bans and copyright strikes. I believe this to be simply a case of those.

      Yes it literally has the update notes in fdroid saying they updated their browser integration to comply with Google services. It was most likely an abrupt code and compliance issue generated automatically.
