Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Mar 8, 2026

The updated Terms of Use incorporate previously separate AI tool disclosures and advertising policies directly into the main user and creator agreement sections. The document now includes regional appendices addressing compliance requirements for the EU/EEA, UK, Australia, China, Japan, and Vietnam, which may apply different terms or restrictions based on your location. The restructuring removes the standalone change summary that previously explained these updates in plain language, relocating that information throughout the terms document itself.
