ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users who continue using Character.AI after the 30-day period are bound by the updated Terms of Service without any further affirmative acceptance step.

Interpretive note: The canonical claim focuses on the Terms of Service as the primary legal proposition. The Privacy Policy update and Regional Disclosures, while present in the excerpt, are recorded as omitted_material. The evidence span covers both the effective date and the continued-use acceptance mechanism, which are two independent legal effects; the secondary effect is noted here.
