I was notified that @tateisu's Mastodon app "Subway Tooter" has received a warning from the Google Play Store citing user-generated content that "incites discrimination".
A Mastodon app does not host or promote any content. The user types the address to connect to. The responsibility of moderating resides with that server. So unless Google is going to drop Chrome, Firefox and Opera from its platform, this is completely out of line.
Source in Japanese:
I knew this reminded me of something, I looked it up and similar things have happened to at least one podcast app in the past. Eventually Google admitted there was no violation but only after the story gained publicity.
@BlackWinnerYoshi @Gargron here's the link to @fedilab's toot about #Fedilab's supposed non-compliance violation notification: https://toot.fedilab.app/@fedilab/104761140268193772
@FiXato @BlackWinnerYoshi @Gargron @fedilab Unfortunately the toot has been deleted
@brandon
No, it has been published in private.
@FiXato @BlackWinnerYoshi @Gargron
@Gargron Time to make a royal stink about it, then.
@Gargron Google standard operating practice: Oppress people until it's a PR problem.
Server run by the main developers of the project 
It is not focused on any particular niche interest - everyone is welcome as long as you follow our code of conduct!
@Gargron similar story with @fedilab. Seriously, #FuckOffGoogle from the innocent app developers
