Malicious is to cause harm and if it refuses your app because of that reason you have legal recourse.

Legal recourse in the American empire that just made Google block an app to warn of its armed goons approaching? Color me skeptical.

Libel for calling it malicious and a tort case for malicious interference in trace/commerce. Although, fighting google's lawyers is another matter. If they blocked it without reason, it would be difficult, but if they said it was malicious and that was a lie, regardless of ToS or contracts you have a libel case as the very least. IANAL.
