Medium's Terms of Service were updated on July 3, 2026, but the detected change is purely numerical and appears to reflect a formatting or display metric update rather than a substantive policy modification. The document's listen/share count changed from 11 to 17, which is metadata associated with the post rather than language governing user rights or obligations. No operational change to user terms, obligations, or rights was detected.
