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.
