So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.
And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".
It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.
Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?
Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

🔍 Time to change your #SearchEngine
⚠️ Despite the big variety of open-source safe alternatives, #Google remains the most used search engine in the world, with 90% of online searches. HOW? Google pays independent browsers, like Firefox and Safari, to be Google-by-default. It is a monopolistic practice for which they were sued.
@watchfulcitizen @bitwarden … I started to say ‘no, not a password vault’ (fwiw, am content with bitwarden for that). Searched the App Store and found the Bitwarden Authenticator app.
