That's really ridiculous. #Google decided to remove the #xmpp client #Conversations because they think it uploads contact data.
Beside the fact that it doesn't upload any contact data, there are many mainstream messengers which exactly do this, all available on #gplay.
Additionally it seems to be extremly hard or even impossible to get in contact with someone who can explain the decision and revert it.
Such gatekeepers are extremly harmful.

  Google has just removed #Conversations_im from the Play Store because they think we are uploading the user’s contact list. We don’t.
