<pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><category>minor</category><description>The diff shows only removals: the Community Geofilter Terms, Snap Inc. and Snap Group Limited Lens Studio Terms, and the Government Users amendment no longer appear in this document. Nothing was added. This most likely means the archived page now covers a narrower document or these terms moved elsewhere, not that the rules for creators were repealed.</description></item>
