View submission: Content Policy Update
There's a difference between vagueness and a deliberately expansive policy. As you noted, the law encounters this problem frequently as well. As Justice Sutherland famously stated:
[T]he terms of a penal statute [...] must be sufficiently explicit to inform those who are subject to it what conduct on their part will render them liable to its penalties… and a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.
In short, my major complaint isn't that the policy covers too much, it's that I have no idea how much the policy covers.
There's nothing here!
