ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The prohibition bars a broad category of child-directed content, limiting use of Runway for any product or creative work designed to appeal to users under 18.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not clarify whether the prohibition applies to content that incidentally appeals to minors or only to content designed with that intent. The scope of 'engage' is not defined.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users are prohibited from generating characters, games, narrative elements, or visual styles intended for audiences under 18 years of age.
