The problem, as I see it, is not that these services are temporarily removed or censored, but that one entity has the power to control what people access. This is very disturbing. We need to move away from being dependent on monopoly institutions. Not just in terms of cryptocurrencies, but also education, finance in general, technology, and other areas of life must we free ourselves.
I am not sure if this is orchestrated or what. It seems Google is behaving suspiciously lately. Perhaps it's just that there are some incompetent managers, and there is no larger agenda. I try not to be cynical about these things.

Soon after Google-owned Youtube has swung the strikes hammer against video content creators that talked about cryptocurrency-related topics, another arm of the search monopoly has taken down a popular ethereum dapps client.
Google Play, the official app store for the Android operating system which is used by billions of mobile devices around the world and operated by Google, has banned the crypto app Metamask. The company pointed its restricted content policy on apps that expose users to deceptive or harmful financial products and services as a reason for the ban. The policy details that “we don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices,” despite the fact that mining is something Metamask is not designed to do.

For those who don't know it's wise to say that MetaMask allows you to run Ethereum dApps right in your browser without running a full Ethereum node.

You can install MetaMask add-on in Chrome, Firefox, Opera but not for Android anymore which is very sad =/
Were you using it for your Android? Had it affect for you and have you found any alternatives?
Looks like Google and Youtube are looking more into such apps
