Im pretty sure Meta also has different policies for different countries but they don't make it official to avoid backlash from the west. You can make racist, sexist, homophobic comments and even direct calls to violence against athiests and religious minorities if you live in poor religious countries and their moderation team wont do anything. They only take actions when a comment/post or a profile is mass reported which is often impossible to do because being a minority means you're outnumbered.

There are regulations, they are either inadequate or aren't being applied to products or services used by regular consumers. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11062200

Also which terms? You can't call yourself an MD, RN or an Attorney etc in US and many other countries if you aren't one. You can't market drugs that haven't been approved by the FDA. Also bastardisation isn't a justification for no regulation.

If "privacy friendly" or "secure" were regulated terms most linux distros would have been sued/fined into bankruptcy for deceptive marketing.

He also invests a lot in localisation which makes his videos appealing to non western audiences.

Their devs dont really care about security so id say its not safe at all.

all it does is prevent sideloaded apps from having access to sensitive permissions by default, which is a good thing.
