  Medium's Terms of Service display was updated on June 6, 2026 to include engagement metrics (46K views, 11 shares) alongside the document header. This is a formatting and display change to the webpage presenting the terms; the substantive language of the Terms of Service itself remains unchanged. The document's operative legal content and effective date (September 1, 2020) are unaffected.

  Medium removed the phrase 'as a Newsletter Editor' from a clause requiring users to represent that they have lawfully collected personal information. The updated language now applies this representation requirement to all personal information users provide to Medium, not just information provided in a newsletter editor capacity. This broadens the scope of the warranty to cover any personal data submitted through the platform.

  Medium's Terms of Service page now displays a '46K' metric next to the Listen and Share buttons, which appears to be a view or engagement count. This is a UI element addition with no change to the actual legal terms themselves. It has minimal consumer impact as it only adds metadata display to the document page.

  Medium's Terms of Service were updated on April 26, 2026, but the detected changes appear to be primarily formatting and interface updates rather than substantive modifications to user rights or obligations. The most notable change involves repositioning language about Medium's right to discontinue services, which was moved within the document layout. The document continues to state that Medium may stop providing services at its sole discretion, a longstanding provision that remains functionally unchanged.
