Little offtopic question:

How do apple & google app stores allow Reddit & Twitter, if you upload apps with pornographic content links in it they ban out instantly?

Is there some other guidelines to be followed or I am missing something?

They also allow web browsers, which can access arbitrary content.

I would guess they only want to allow apps that don't explicitly condone porn, but that ‘platform’-type apps which happen to contain some pornographic material are ok.

Yes but Apple removed Tumblr from the App Store for this -- why doesn't your argument apply there?
They are not anti-porn. They just do not want to be seen as being pro-porn.
