Event Summary

Runway updated its Usage Policy on June 23, 2026 by removing navigation and structural elements from the document header and footer. The policy no longer displays a table of contents linking to specific policy sections, and removed reference language stating that policies apply to 'Additional Character & Game Worlds' as a separate section heading. The substantive content prohibitions—covering children's safety, violence, sexual content, hateful conduct, rights violations, and misleading content—remain unchanged. This is a formatting and organizational revision with no material change to the actual content standards or enforcement obligations.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The substantive prohibitions in Runway's Usage Policy remain in effect. The updated document removes the table of contents and reorganizes how policy sections are presented, but does not modify the actual rules governing prohibited content, acceptable use, or enforcement. Users operate under the same content standards as before this update.

Governance Analysis

This change does not materially affect user rights, obligations, or content standards. The policy maintains identical prohibitions on child sexual abuse material, graphic violence, non-consensual intimate imagery, hateful conduct, intellectual property violations, and misleading content. The revision addresses only document organization and navigation.
