Where do we find the rules about exceptions? Are group communication apps excepted as well?

It's not obviously in the Restricted Content policy page: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/topi...

The rules there are extremely general, and technically cover all sorts of things which are currently let into the Store.

Vague policies are very useful when those making them wish to engage in arbitrary and capricious enforcement.
