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 https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.

did they not go after Mastodon apps last year? For a company behind Chrome, you would expect they understand that the software is not responsible for the content that can be accessed (as I assume that's the issue)

Yeah, they did, I think it was because some Mastodon clients allowed access to Gab and other Alt-right social networks. AFAIK they just warned them, and never ended up deleting them. Here it seems that they haven't even warned them.

thanks for reminding me of the details.
