Hmm, this seems like it could be seen as anti competitive, especially if similar sites which allow similar content (read, most large social media sites) can get their apps onto the Play Store. Would Google remove Twitter or Facebook for the same stuff? Personally, I doubt they would, and that opens up a can of worms where: 1. The rules clearly don't apply the same to popular apps as they do to less popular ones (which admittedly also seems to be true of Google's search engine with websites in general). 2. Newer competitors to large social sites would have to be stricter on their content to get accepted onto the Google Play Store, or what not. Feels very unfair to people running competitors to the large social media sites, since Google have proved they're willing to unfairly punish them for the exact same stuff a larger service would get away with.
