Google brings back the banned LBRY Android app to Playstore

A few days ago, we heard the news that Google banned the LBRY Android app from the Playstore due to pornographic materials that turned out to be untrue.

As Jeremy Kauffman the CEO of LBRY and Odysee has mentioned in a video they submitted an appeal to Google to bring the LBRY app back.

The good thing is the appeal has worked. Now the LBRY app is back to Google Playstore, link.

The news has announced on 28th September over a tweet from the official LBRY account showing the Google response to the appeal.

(Yet) Google is *still* demanding we (LBRY) filter the non-pornographic, non-nude comedy sketch!

In a sarcastic move, the LBRY Twitter account tweeted screenshots of some NSFW materials floating around on YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit. The irony is none (of those apps) has ever been banned from Playstore even though they host much more explicit content than LBRY.

Anyhow, as of 30th September, the LBRY app is back and that's all that matters.
