Change Summary
Google Maps updated the definition of 'High Risk Activities' in its Platform Terms of Service on June 24, 2026. The previous definition listed specific categories (emergency response, autonomous vehicles, aviation, nuclear facilities). The updated definition broadens the scope to cover any activities where service failure would 'reasonably be expected to result in death, serious personal injury, or severe environmental damage or property damage' and explicitly includes weaponry. The URL reference for the Acceptable Use Policy also changed from a maps-platform-specific path to a general Google Cloud terms URL.
