You chose to create news rather than report news. Understandable given the incentive to drive attention, but not really a best practice for journalism.

More specifically, you chose to interpret Google's (admittedly poorly worded) policy without actually doing the legwork of asking them first. Next, your article claimed self custody apps were being banned while providing zero actual examples.

As a self custody app publisher who pushes builds every few days, Casa is keenly aware of policy changes and we knew that no such interpretation was being applied upon us.

Your fearmongering caused some of our clients to freak out and flood our support team, questioning if Casa's app was going to abruptly disappear.

It's commendable that you got Google to clarify their policy. But I dare say it could have been achieved without the stress and drama.
