Youtube admitted that they removed crypto related contents as a mistake,is this same happening here as well?

I don't think Meta mask has any risk to the users so why did the made this to happen?

hack cases that occur lately involve many erc-20 tokens, and metamask is a favorite place to access tokens safely.

I think what Google is doing is still in the corridor of prevention policies. The level of crypto usage through smartphone applications is so high that they also don't want to face risks that could have an impact on reputation, this might not be related to what happened with YouTube yesterday.

Metamask is reported to be one of the most secured ethereum wallets, I can't really say why google choosed to turn against Metamask App. I was told google chromes now offers limited support for Metamask, I am okay with brave and Firefox browsers.

Hahahaha funny. So they ban legit apps but there are a shit ton load of fake pieces of shit floating around on google playstore with fake wallets and clipboard copy paste theft. There fake traffic apps with fake reviews and even reviews from plain idiots giving 5 stars to something that does nothing. I always report them. Every single one of them. If an app is good and people give it one star I report them.

I love this lol. Maybe they should stop allowing criminals creating apps that are stolen or steal themselves before pointing fingers at legit companies. Google is breaking their own rules by condoning and even allowing fake apps and scams. So !@#$ google honestly and truly.

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.

Yes, I think the point you said is true and I agree with that. in my opinion to avoid things that are undesirable to each other then every company must look for other alternatives so there are no negative things that are sustainable. I have just heard about the dispute between YouTube and Crypto, if this continues for a long time, it might have a negative impact, especially on users and the Crypto industry.

Theres a lot bad news for crypto this past few days after crypto youtuber banned on youtube now this one well is this a sign of hating crypto because lot of people scamming to crypto investment?
Hoping this 2020 halving will gives some good support to crypto to make people aware of a good benefits of crypro.

I think by the fake news, the price must suffer from a liitle bit low from past few months. There are a lot of scams about altcoin I think they protect viewers from the possible scam that might happen from entering crypto in the use of YouTube ads.

First Youtube, then Google, it seems more like a fight against decentralised future in my opinion, because some projects like Brave browser are huge threats for big companies, because nobody is able to leak personal information.

well its their store so they can decide whatever they want to. but since they approved it, it means it passed to the evaluation they did before they list it. but the reason as estated was that they are accusing metamask of mining remotely?

this is something they know nothing really which is why they just ban it all including the shutting down of the videos in youtube. they then try to examine all and study things and then come back to restore the videos and probably the metamask later as well. they have forgot to say sorry though.

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.

This will be very sad news for cryptocurrency users. Something new we can accept easily or reject it by applying new rules as wallet rejected. Although Google could be a good supporter for Ethereum wallet and metamask decentralized app browser.

Why they did that! Myetherwallet is a very secure wallet. Maybe it's because of ponzi schemes. It's very bad news for the crypto world. In the 2019 crypto world faces a lot of bad times and i think this is one of them. Hope this will not do any damage in the crypto world.

Are you sure that MEW apps also delisted from playstore? Coz 10 minutes ago i still saw that MEW still available on playstore. And my MEW apps still working on my android. I still can do transactions ( i just did 3 minutes ago).

I guess because of many crypto scams so they started banning the wallets and for sure those apps that has related in cryptos will be ban as well soon. This is bad, another bad news in crypto space.

Here is the Google's financial services policies https://play.google.com/about/restricted-content/financial-services/

As far as I think it's because their App didn't kept a warning which warned users that day are doing such things at their own responsibility and the maker doesn't knows that if Cryptocurrencies are legal in their country or not. Maybe this is the only reason because google says it permits app that remotely manage mining of Cryptocurrencies. I don't think there is any connection with that YouTube thing that happened.

Apparently, Google is not against cryptocurrency, but is taking certain steps in that direction to avoid problems in those countries where Google officially operates. We know that in many countries cryptocurrency is not recognized as legal and therefore this situation can create certain problems for google. Based on this, a situation may occur where Google avoids the problem. But I don’t understand why, then, Google allows you to place various kinds of Android applications on the Play Market that use different cryptocurrencies, sometimes even without enough authority among cryptocurrency users. Perhaps there is some corporate interest here and apparently the Google administration should conduct certain negotiations with the Ethereum team.

I always think why? What's wrong with crypto? I think there are also many victims of fraud because basically it was their fault for not tracing the project, now any decision taken by Google or YouTube will always be controversial, if not like this then there will be many other victims of fraud, if like this they are activists crypto will be harmed too. Everything is wrong and again whatever the decision, it will still be controversial.

Maybe the ban on YouTube is because of the rampant fraud or ponzi schemes that are carried out by crypto YouTubers so that YouTube forbids it.
But for Metamask, I don't know yet what happened. The chronology will read several articles and want to be clear about the news that is happening now.

Very surprising, but the decision taken by Google is reasonable if the aim is to protect customers. it's just that makes me wonder, why should metamask? We see that in PlayStore there are still many crypto wallets. Metamask makes a browser with wallet eth features. Opera also has the same features but why is opera still safe? Really Google's policy must be questioned again. Honestly, I installed Metamask on my phone, so I was surprised after reading this news.

Maybe they are just playing safe for whatever may possibly happen to its customers. They should review if the move is really on their advantage or will it be affecting a large user base without any solid foundation? Have they conducted thorough investigation why such move?

clearer reasons can be read on this website, the review is more detailed in my opinion : https://bitcoinist.com/ethereum-wallet-app-metamask-banned-from-google-app-store/
Google has rejected the appeal from Metamask.

I am surprised by all this. Between google, facebook and youtube these days hated crypto. Maybe it's because we have received more complaints and facts today. Maybe everything comes from ICO scams that use the smart-contract platform from ethereum, so many people hate crypto. And I'm sure in the future leading industries such as Google will be aware of the importance of blockchain technology.
