Friendly reminder of why #Google is just plain evil: they've taking down #IzzyOnDroid (a third party Open Source Android "app store" like #FDroid) *twice* in the past 30 days over false positive malware scanning.

We are receiving reports that Google flags our repo as "having dangerous apps" or being a "dangerous site" – texts being very vague, no proof given (nor did they inform us). They also link to a page they call "Transparency Report" – which is of the same vagueness, but definitely not transparent (https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Fapt.izzysoft.de%2Ffdroid%2F&hl=en)

We're not aware of any such dangerous content. All apps on our repo are properly scanned, see https://izzyondroid.org/about/security/
