Change Summary
YouTube Ads updated its Terms of Service on May 5, 2026, making several clarifications and corrections. The most notable change expands the definition of minors to use jurisdiction-specific age thresholds (replacing the fixed age-18 rule), updates a date reference for royalty treatment of creator payments from November 2020 to June 2021, and reduces the list of available language translations from 20+ languages to just English and Vietnamese. Most other changes are minor corrections like spelling standardization and punctuation adjustments.
