The "safeguards" you are referring to are contractual, i.e. words. There are no technical safeguards, per the article.

The memo literally says that the reason they have these policies is -because- actual technical guardrails are not reliable enough.

Again, these are just words, and they're a salad of legal terms of art that provide cover for virtually any action. "We prevent the -illegitimate- use..." [define illegitimate plz?]
