I'm from Canada and live in the UK. You're allowed to, barring some very specific circumstances, record or repeat any conversation you are party to. If you were posting a DM convo that your friend was having, taking pictures of their screen while they were out of the room and then putting it online. You're fucked. If you are an active participant of a conversation/DM chain then as party to said communication you have the legal right to tell anyone, record it for reporting to the news, or the cops, or your gf.
The internet seems to suggest it's illegal in the UK, for example to share recorded phone calls. According to the first page of Google, recording itself is fine, while sharing or making them public isn't. But I haven't looked up the specifics.
I'm not a lawyer. I am quite drunk. One might look up "unreliable narrator" and see me. I'm also not so up my own ass I can't admit I was wrong. Touché internet person, touché.
Have a nice one. 🍷
