Mines good and from the Reddit thread the majority of people installed it on fdroid and maybe play protect just removed it because the package name and signatures didn't match, at least that is what's being suspected
Completely agree with you
A couple of days ago I was also confused I updated an app on fdroid and suddenly i got a push up message asking me to send the app to play protect to get it verified...
I remember it popping up a dialog "warning" me about an app I was about to install but I don't remember what it was. It was something totally innocuous anyway. The installer has definitely started using some "political" criteria.
Which is totally bogus, I mean it's over thing for Google to arbitrarily kick apps out of the Store but it's another to poke their nose into our phones and try to regulate what we use. Crosses a line.
