Google bans Podcast Addict app over non-approved Covid-19 content

In most of these stories featuring Google abusing their power to remove apps, it's usually a matter of some automated tool gone wrong and the problem is solved a couple of days later. But this time it's different, they are actually asking developers to censor themselves if they are not affiliated with a gov.

Meh. If I left an automation roaming the streets and it ate someone’s kid I would get in trouble.

If google’s automations are broken and they harm the world then they need to be responsible and fix them or replace them with people.
