I'm paying Google ~100 euros a month for their services and the privilege of publishing Conversations on the Play Store.
For a week now, I have been unable to release any updates because I'm still hoping to talk to someone at Google about their false accusation that I'm collecting users' email addresses, and any publication would reset my slot in the queue.

in reply to Daniel Gultsch • • •The #Google playstore bias against #FOSS apps should end, @daniel. I'm so sorry you face this.
Never would software freedom activists like myself, in 2005, imagined that 20 years later the most common computers that most users have would forbid users from installing FOSS, *AND* impede small FOSS businesses from operating boutique shops that provide useful FOSS apps to their users.
The computing world quickly slouches toward dystopia.

At the same time, the privacy policy also claims XMPP messages are encrypted which is not always (or even usually?) the case.
