This is my first comment in HN. This is the best productive podcast app ever. The developer is also so helpful with any kind of bugs I reported. I hope this is resolved quickly.
I am impressed you remember your password from that long ago.
About that long, though I had commented before that.
My favorite (and only) podcasting app. I hope someone who works at Google reads this and flag it internally. This quote really sums up how ridiculous Google is being: > What Google is asking of Podcast Addict would be comparable to Google asking a web browser app to remove references to all the websites and social media posts that reference the coronavirus unless the reference comes from an official government entity…
> asking a web browser app to remove references to all the websites and social media posts Except usually a web browser doesn't include a index of sites, You go to a another site (Google/Bing) for that. If a browser does include "recommended sites" the landing pages of those sites best keep to Google's and Apples rules. For an extreme example, If Firefox was promoting PornHub on the new tab page we could understand w…
I say this because I remember the days before Apple’s Podcast directory when it was often easier to Google and listen in your browser or copy it on to a music player via drag and drop than it was to remember to launch an app that would do the downloading for you. (Partly because you still had to remember to connect and/or sync the player, and worry about disk space etc.) Nowadays, subscribing and listening via phone is so easy that I probably download 100x the shows I used to and barely listen to 5%. These days I use the apps as sources of possible content to listen to, but I would be really annoyed if some of the content disappeared with no warning, particularly if it was one daily/weekly episode that covered COVID.
This is disgusting, Google has become disgusting.. This is exactly why Google and maybe other large corporations absolutely need to get split up. I hope Trump takes action against US tech companies as he have said he would. Very few things would make me happier as an european.
This actually feels like an intentional move by Google to NOT get split up. Don’t worry government, we got your back! We’ll ban things that aren’t approved by you!

OP’s point stands without modification.

The only Podcast app worth using. I hope Google understands the slippery slope they are treading and its implications and consequences.
Podcast Addict's UI was a bit too full for the simple use I do of podcasts.
This is like Google banning the YouTube app from the play store for having videos about covid that aren't from government sources. Insane stuff.
COVID-19 is the terrorism of this generation. It's the anything goes, doesn't matter how fair, as long as it's because COVID.
The fear is justified and the extreme prejudice against Covid-19 misinformation (most of which has an agenda behind it) is warranted.
This particular case may go too far, but that has no bearing on whether the other efforts against misinformation are too extreme.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This isn't what phishing is. You might not like it, but that doesn't make it phishing.
Your parent post might have been changed, but it currently says 'proxying', not 'phishing'.
Parent could have posted something along the lines of 'ah yes, phishing is something else', but ah well.
