Appealing the removal didn’t yield any result. Google just repeated the same statement "the app was removed because it uploads the contact list" without even acknowledging any of the arguments I made in the appeal.
I understand that most of my audience here on Mastodon is more ideology aligned with F-Droid but the app sales on Google Play store have contributed significantly to me working (almost) full time on #Conversations_im.
Without the revenue from Google Play I can’t afford this.
@daniel That's horrible. This sounds like a clear violation of the Digital Markets Act to me, e.g. 6.12: "The gatekeeper shall apply fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory general conditions of access for business users to its software application stores (...) publish general conditions of access, including an alternative dispute settlement mechanism."
@daniel I'd recommend reaching out to the European Commission, informally (https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/about-dma/questions-and-answers_en#contacts) or with a formal complaint. Bundeskartellamt might be receptive to assisting you with the latter or to start a formal investigation on your behalf.
