Are you saying you shouldn’t help an app that exposes users to ads prevent people from running automated fishing-for-nudes campaigns that have been used in the past to bully teenagers into suicide?

No, not this way. If my goal is really to push content to users I’d get a set of account and automate the sending/scraping using a device emulator. Ultimately their efforts are better spent elsewhere if this is the actual goal. In reality the goal is to attempt to keep people from reverse engineering the api so they can create a custom, ad free, client.
