They aren&amp;#x27;t going to proactively ban stuff unless they really have to (e.g. something that is very obviously illegal&amp;#x2F;scam&amp;#x2F;etc.)&lt;p&gt;So if nobody complained about the other apps, they didn&amp;#x27;t get banned. It is that easy.&lt;p&gt;That someone else does something that violates those policies&amp;#x2F;laws too doesn&amp;#x27;t mean that you get a free pass, unfortunately.</text></comment>
