  YouTube Ads updated its Terms of Service on April 26, 2026 with minor language edits. The company standardized language references for some non-English translations (changing script codes to readable language names like 'Armenian' instead of 'հայերեն') and added a footer note referencing an earlier version from December 15, 2023. These changes appear to be formatting and clarity improvements with no material impact on consumer rights or obligations.
