Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This is a localization change that substitutes Thai language support for Vietnamese in the Terms of Service language menu. No substantive policy modifications occur, and no new compliance obligations are created. This is a low-priority administrative update reflecting platform localization strategy rather than a material change to terms, rights, or obligations.
