Someone should make an app that post Alex Jones tweets. Nothing else either, no fancy U.I either, just text messages matching tweets from twitter. If Apple banned the app or never released it, the developer could in theory sue Apple because they aren’t doing anything to prevent it on twitter.
Such an app would violate the App Store rules:
Probably a pretty big grey area, considering how many mobile websites are for all intents and purposes an app. I'm sure you'd be able to do it with some minimal added "functionality" to satisfy the requirements.
All their rules can be interpreted as they see fit. It's Apple. It's on purpose. They want to have freedom to easily ban stuff, but not seem too arbitrary at the same time.
