NoThanks was temporarily suspended from the Google Play app store due to a line in its description speaking about Israel.

    I have the No Thanks app on my phone. This is a good reminder to use it.

    This is from 2023?

      Has Google reversed their position since then? Has the app been restored?

      I am boycotting Israel for life, and also since long before 2023. And I already boycott Google¹ as well. So for me it’s relevant unless Google actually reversed their stance and took remedial action (which would not affect my boycott either way but it would affect the newsworthiness).

      ¹ I’m not intent on boycotting Google for life, but it will likely be for life because Google is unlikely to cease to be a surveillance advertiser who collects data from unwilling non-users.
