No, but it would be reasonable to interpret the meaning of "making
available" as being "to enable the commumication to be 'seen' /
'read' / 'heard' / 'felt' (as may be appropriate for the form of that
communication)". If it doesn't mean that, then what does it mean?

Fine! If you can "take to mean" some undefined word in the act using
terms such as "with the effect of" or "intended to", then you must
permit me to do the same with the term "making available".
