#googlecrap — Public Fediverse posts

Just saw this from a fellow #fossuser #freedomatrisk
I have been using an offline translator from F-Droid repository. One of the newly updated mobile banking App (Canara Bank) denied login saying that Slideloaded application "Translator" is unauthorized and risky. Forcing to uninstall that App to continue Mobile Banking!!

Is this related to Google's devil move of not allowing any apps out of Play Store?

Have requested for an image if can be presented now. This reminds me of my case with #hsbc app.
