We are receiving reports that Google flags our repo as "having dangerous apps" or being a "dangerous site" – texts being very vague, no proof given (nor did they inform us). They also link to a page they call "Transparency Report" – which is of the same vagueness, but definitely not transparent (https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Fapt.izzysoft.de%2Ffdroid%2F&hl=en)

We're not aware of any such dangerous content. All apps on our repo are properly scanned, see https://izzyondroid.org/about/security/

screenshot from Chrome in the Android emulator (Pixel 6, API 34), claiming IzzyOnDroid containing "dangerous apps"

"Attackers currently on apt.izzysoft.de could install dangerous apps…"

1) there are no attackers on that site, it's only us
2) we cannot install apps on your device, only you can
3) maybe we have some apps dangerous to Google's business model, but (to our knowledge) none dangerous to your device ;)
4) most of the apps here come from GitHub. I bet GitHub is flagged the same – not, because MS has lawyers we cannot afford…
