I don't actually think so, but that's not my point. If it was against their ToS, fine. Take it down
But they didn't just do that. They made baseless accusations of malware against this (open-source) project in order to spread misinformation and make people even more hesitant to use it. That's not just an abuse of their platform but an abuse that goes outside their platform
- encryptluks2 4y agoCan you send me a link where they did that?
- culi 4y agoSure. It used to be on the Chrome Extensions page. It wouldn't let you download the extension and had a big "malware" flag on it. I don't think that's up still but there's articles written about it: https://www.theregister.com/2017/01/05/adnauseam_expelled_from_chrome_web_store/ https://www.theregister.com/2017/01/05/adnauseam_expelled_fr...
- encryptluks2 4y agoYeah, I saw that one but other stories around the same time say something different. Were you able to find an arhive.org page that actually shows the extension listed as malware?
- culi 4y agoI don't even know what URL I'd have to put in archive.org to find it, but I'm telling you I saw it myself when it first happened. I had it installed and Google uninstalled it for me and told me it was malware What do "other stories" say about it? I'm seeing multiple articles confirming the same thing. Not sure why you find this so hard to believe...
