Google has banned Ethereum wallet and decentralized app browser Metamask's android client from its Play app store.
The MetaMask team took to Twitter on Dec. 26, where they announced that Google had suspended MetaMask's android client from Google Play's app store, claiming MetaMask was in violation of Google's financial services policies.
Google reportedly cited their policy prohibiting cryptocurrency mining on mobile devices.
The MetaMask team attempted to appeal Google's decision to ban MetaMask from its app store to no avail, as Google promptly rejected the appeal.
"I very much hope that this was an honest mistake on the part of Google's reviewers, but in combination with all the crypto YouTube bans, it definitely puts me at disease about how Google is engaging with decentralizing technologies. If people accept this behavior from a mobile monopoly like Google, we may not deserve something better."
Just a few hours ago, a MetaMask contributor reported in a Reddit post that the MetaMask team is not getting the support it needs from ConsenSys, and the whole team of 24 employees is overwhelmed.
"One cannot follow development via the public issue-tracker, simply because the team uses an internal tracker and internal 'meetings.' This is not transparent. This is not decentralized. MetaMask is a critical value-moving piece of Ethereum. It is written in JavaScript, nearly completely untyped. The code is of low quality, full of technical debt."
