Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

Runway updated its Usage Policy on May 11, 2026 by adding a detailed table of contents that explicitly lists specific content categories the platform prohibits or restricts. The prior version opened with the mission statement without itemizing prohibited content categories. The updated policy now prominently displays categories including Children's Safety, Violence & Gore, Sexually Explicit Content & Nudity, Hateful Conduct, Harassment and Self-Harm, Content that May Violate the Rights of Others, Misleading Content, and policies for Character & Game Worlds. This change makes the policy's content restrictions more discoverable and organized for users reviewing what the platform permits.

What this means for you

The updated policy makes content restrictions more transparent by organizing them into a searchable table of contents. Users can now more easily locate specific content categories the platform prohibits, such as violence, sexually explicit content, hateful conduct, and misleading material. The substantive content restrictions themselves appear unchanged; this change reorganizes how they are presented and accessed.
