The policy also specifically references obligations under the EU Digital Services Act Article 18, UK Online Safety Act, and Australian Online Safety Act as bases for disclosing communication contents.

The explicit reference to DSA Article 18, UK Online Safety Act, and Australian Online Safety Act reflects jurisdiction-specific statutory obligations.
