Google might also want to maintain the security and comfort of all their users, at least we must respect and not consider this as a reference to accompany opinions that Google seems to forbid anything about crypto, hopefully this case can be resolved well in the future, me too users of the Metamask wallet in the Chrome browser and that's not a problem at all, if indeed Google has a problem with crypto it should not only ban it in PlayStore but also forbid their plugins in the Chrome browser

Metamask has been in the Playstore for years, and not only on Playstore that they are bullying Cryptocurrency community but on Youtube as well, since metamask is very important for Ethereum holders, especially to those who transact in a centralized wallet, it will slow down the growth of decentralized exchange, and coins that rely on centralized exchanges that uses metamask.

Right now, I'm still quite confused on Google's stance on cryptocurrencies. Earlier this year, there are already rumors of Google Pay's support on cryptocurrencies. But now, things seems to start making a turn. The YouTube drama was said to be unintentional, but here we are again at another crypto-related censorship on one of their platforms.

I agree with your opinion, that's actually two in a row, they delete Crypto influencers Youtube Videos, now they take down metamask in Playstore, we can confirm that they are really against Cryptocurrency and they are showing it if we have a third one, could be advertisement about Crypto, they used to go against with.

For sure that there are big persons behind this, they are manipulating the price, doing anything for the Bitcoin to go down, I am not sure if they are creating this to FUD because they want to bag more or they are promoting their own coins/tokens for their own sake, we are really not sure about this but let's not too worry about it.

Price manipulation by blocking a few videos and metamask? Highly unlikely. This is a far-out idea. This is not to create FUD either as the incident was only involving a few videos and a single app. And Google does not have a coin or token to promote so there is no connection at all. They are not supporting any coin or token also.

I am not sure but I think that it will the same scenario with Youtube. Now that they didn't fully understand about Cryptocurrency, just give them the benefit of the doubt. Eventually, they will accept and understand Crypto in the near future.

Well according to the article it appears meta mask has violate the Google financial service policies, you don't expect those who violate policies to go unpunished, you make it sound like they where ban without a reason, i guess people should do things according to what is specified, and for the good of the many users of this app, i hope both parties can come to a resolution, after what is already happening with Youtube it won't be good to have Google do same.

I agree that metamask simply violated the policy because it is a business and everyone wants to sell their products profitably. The question is, what kind of rules did the metamask break? There is no reason to ban just like that or there is another benefit for Google.

This is quite related to the purging of crypto-related videos in Youtube.
I think it will be back shortly, unless they had seen such malicious software especially those softwares mining crypto in background of phone but from what they had stated "financial services", it seems an unlikely of a reason.

I hope that's the case we need the metamask on play store for a new users of Ethereum, but why now, it's doing great and proven to be nonmalicious, what is Google trying to prove, I think they want disruptions, in Cryptocurrency, they want to sow fear and FUDS among us and this is not good for us.

I think Metamask really violated google's Financial terms, that's why Google rejected metamask's appeal about it! It means Metamask broke a big rule and they have to go under punishment! Stop blaming Google, guys! they are helping enough to the crypto world! If you look carefully, Google did not ban the Metamask chrome extension, they just banned the app from the playstore! So, it's clear that the fault is in Metamask, not Google's!

Metamask have been banned by google without have reason, always have moment without anything happen suddenly metamask banned from google and many other bad thing will happen with bitcoin, we can't understand why google look hate with bitcoin and altcoin as legal investment and why have many time want to banned bitcoin by google.

I think the possibility of metamask has a report about something bad so many report metamask to Google and make Google banned metamask, while I see other wallets can still be used on the Google platform.

Google is showing signs of authoritarian decisions of late. Youtube was involved in removing crypto-related videos and now Google Playstore is doing its part in blocking another crypto-related app. This is going to be bad for crypto but worse for them. They seem to show that they do not like cryptocurrency at all. Google is replaceable; they need to realize that. They will certainly be replaced soon.

Google's decision must be questioned because many people who use the application and also crypto users mostly use Google access like me. if this continues then access to use crypto will be increasingly difficult, this policy is actually disturbing and needs to be asked for clearer reasons

I don't think it's worth enough to trust their decisions, because this could be some bad moves for other group who spreads FUD. Hopefully there's something that could support the idea before it's too late, most users like me was very much affected. This fears my asset being enlisted with google browser add on, it might be not safe nowadays.

Google has been a leading business for so many years. It started as just an alternative but then it successfully made it to the top. There must be something that caused Google to become very successful like they are now. For that reason, they could somehow be trusted. However, there are policies that tend to be biased against new technologies such as the ones they stated as the reasons for blocking MetaMask. I cannot see any valid reason for doing so. They need to be open for rising technologies as they themselves was once a rising star also.

Right there is no official reason why Google is blocking Metamask, I think there must be a fundamental reason for that, and maybe also a misunderstanding that can be resolved by deliberation. basically of course google will be open to technological developments

Perhaps this is also a mistake like youtube, I believe that metamask is safe enough for anyone to use and there is no reason why google can block it. Hopefully in the next few days they will fix this mistake just like youtube did, also in my mind I was thinking that someone is trying to sabotage and stop the development of cryptocurrencies, but I believe that block will never succeed.

I think this is not like the case of Youtube. The case of Youtube was admittedly an erroneous decision on their part. They were man enough to admit it and reinstalled the videos back. The case of MetaMask is different. They decided to block Metamask for reasons that were not true. Mobile mining was the mentioned reason which Metamask was not involved. But despite this, Google rejected the appeal of Metamask. This thing is getting curious.

It is quite strange to remove Metamask Wallet from Android Store as it is just a way to get the access to your Ethereum cryptocurrency wallet. I think it is just a mistake and it will be available again soon.

First Youtube removes all crypto related videos and now Google removes Metamask.
It won't be too late until google starts removing crypto related things from all of it's products.
Looks like google has an eye on crypto.

We know Google is the biggest platform in the world, and of course with the removal of crypto content on their various platforms will certainly have a bad impact on the development of crypto going forward, and if we think about it, it looks like Google has come under pressure from a related party about banning crypto in various their platform, but we don't know who is pressing Google, surely there are certain reasons behind the ban?

Its not that bad they banned metamask APP from good stores. Atleast the reason they are pointing towards is about lack of security on that wallet. This will save lots of peoples hard earned money atleast from scammers.

That's really a good move for them, for sure that they are also receiving a lot of complaints from the users, it's good way that they are protecting their name as well as the security of the users, so there's no problem with that, for sure that they know what they are doing, so let's just respect it.

we really have to appreciate it, because every decision is definitely not approved in full by the community. but unfortunately, such a good platform must be eliminated because its use requires the platform to make it easier. but as long as the decision is made we must respect it

Google has banned Ethereum (ETH) wallet and decentralized app (DApp) 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.

Here is the link to full the news
https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-suspends-metamask-from-its-play-app-store-citing-deceptive-services/amp

They are banning it because of the policy that they do not want mining on mobile, is metamask a miner, I doubt it is, and why now metamask has been in Playstore ever since, I don't know why Google is in the crackdown now, they cannot crack down something that is unstoppable, Cryptocurrency is the future.

I think google is already bothered in scam and fraud cases so they do to banned eth wallet and metamask. They are big institution and company so they don't want to be involved on that kind of issues about crypto. In my own opinion that is the reason why youtube also remove all videos and blog that connected to crypto.

I think its a bad sign for cryptocurrency industry, first its Youtube now its Playstore as we all know that Google has own these two important services. It seems that they are trying to slow down the cryptocurrency advances in some other ways by cutting its vital access to the traditional and useful services like Youtube and Playstore im not sure if how long it will be implemented, But i check today in Playstore it seems other ETH wallet application and most of cryptocurrency wallet app was still downloadable on Playstore. if Google was after on all crypto related apps it should be all that has affected by now but its not. I think it's only a mistake on the Google reviewers side. let's hope it was only a mistake and not intended.
