Don’t be Google
Google has lost touch with their roots. What they did today is the equivalent of banning a web browser because it could access unapproved sites.
Unfortunately, the only effective appeals process is raising a stir on social media.

Must be emphasized how mainstream Element is. It’s used by many companies that don’t want to keep their chat logs on a proprietary server!

There are still many executives at Google that I know believe in a free and open internet. Please ping them.
There are obvious antitrust implications as well for banning a chat app like Element that is an alternative to proprietary Google Chat.

A few weeks ago I said that foreign governments saw risk of deplatforming by US tech companies.
Today that risk isn’t even theoretical! Google just flipped a switch that censored French & German government users conducting official business.
Nations will ban Google in return.
