Good to see more people realizing the kind of control browser makers give Google via this misfeature. It should not be acceptable for an unaccountable for-profit corporation to decide what the average person can or cannot see without any due process for site operators. Yet here we are. Get you software flagged by machine-learning algorithms? Too bad, pretty much every browser will prevent users from downloading it. And yes, prevent - even those browsers that still provide an override hide it well enough that many users will not find it. Appeal? If you are lucky and Google doesn't just deny it without reason then look forward to getting re-listed in a couple of weeks.
