so if i build an app that enables endusers to upload videos from their phones to youtube and then offers a labeling system so that ice-related (or other) activities can be interlinked and searched/discovered/traversed i am suddenly engaging in proscribed software development? how far down does this slope go???

If they can’t remove your app from the store, they will use advertisers to coerce you to whatever changes they are after, if that’s not the case, they will force you to sell your app.
