(history) Google removes app that helps people boycott pro-Israel companies (edit: Google is said to have reversed their action)

I have the No Thanks app on my phone. This is a good reminder to use it.
I’d never heard of this app. Thanks Streisand effect!
Me neither, but now I’m checking it out! Lol
Thanks google now I too just downloaded said app.
This is from 2023?
Has Google reversed their position since then? Has the app been restored?
I am boycotting Israel for life, and also since long before 2023. And I already boycott Google¹ as well. So for me it’s relevant unless Google actually reversed their stance and took remedial action (which would not affect my boycott either way but it would affect the newsworthiness).
¹ I’m not intent on boycotting Google for life, but it will likely be for life because Google is unlikely to cease to be a surveillance advertiser who collects data from unwilling non-users.
Yes, I downloaded the app a few months ago and here is a screenshot from today 
Heh
