Perplexity AI restructured its Terms of Service by adding subsection numbering and reorganizing content for clarity. The company added explicit language clarifying that users cannot direct the Services to generate outputs violating intellectual property rights or laws, and formalized provisions about content moderation rights, stating the company reserves the right to remove, screen, edit, or delete user content at any time for any reason without notice. The operational effect is that previously implicit or scattered provisions are now formally numbered and consolidated, and the company's content moderation authority is now explicitly stated in the terms.
