There have been too many cases of a popular app being bought by scammers and repurposed. They can't exempt an app from being suspended just because it's popular.
- Dylan16807 6y agoExempting it from automatic suspension is not exempting it from suspension.
- Technetium 6y agoI would rather apps be automatically suspended and the install marked as potentially dangerous than have my device goatse'd to a malicious developer for any amount of time.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThat can be accommodated. Automatic suspension that lasts 20-30 minutes while someone on the team looks into the case and makes a human judgement. But a full suspension, on a popular app, without rapid human review? That shouldn't happen. Also, this wasn't up to the "install marked as dangerous" level. They just prevented new installs. In a situation like that, there's no need to act instantly.
