  It is always subjective, the entity in power get to decide the rule, in this case google is the entity in power. Its not enough to have rule that says 'illegal content not allowed', in the case of play store it has to be 'illegal content (according to google) not allowed'

    Surely there must be a way to let the courts determine legality in every single controversial case. It’s just an optimization problem. We sent fourteen people to walk around on the moon, twelve of them made it, and all of them made it back.

      As long as that way, whatever it is, still involve more than one human, you can't avoid the subjectivity problem. Its not technology problem. Its human problem.

        My point is that there is an age-old institution to solve this problem, called a court. We all participate in a social contract where the court's decisions about subjective matters have the force of law. Where it gets weird is that Twitter also has an explicit user contract with the underlying USA social contract/courts as a dependency! If you could physically live in Twitter apartments, and somehow remain safe from war, why not only depend on the Twitter contract and its moderation system? And that's how we get to the future world of Snow Crash.
