Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Advertisers bear responsibility for compliance across multiple overlapping Snap policy documents, not just the Advertising Policies alone.

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two related but independent propositions: (1) the advertiser is responsible for ensuring all ads comply, and (2) advertisers must comply with the named Snap policies. The canonical claim states the second as primary; the first is recorded in omitted_material.
