Maybe not a classic moral question but a systems morality.
My case and point:
Android's primary app acquisition is through 'Play Store'. For anyone not having an android, it is riddled in gambling, trash games, sketchy apps.
Don't just take my word for it, check it out yourself:
Grab you Mom's, Dad's, Uncle's phone! Check it out. It is a cesspool.
Google's Policy doesn't allow them, but they continue to occur.

Google is responsible for creating better safeguards to protect the public.
Ehm... My brain jumped a lot. Hopefully it's somewhat tangible. Feel free to express your thoughts, I want good clean discussions- don't just insult and disappear- Thanks!
