You should not miss this news: Anthropic says it has observed state media organizations, government propaganda offices, and commercial firms using Claude to help operate fake accounts and fabricated news sites.
The company has reorganized its usage policy, added a clearer section prohibiting deceptive campaigns, and expanded its rules concerning weapons, surveillance, and autonomous vehicles.
The most controversial change is the removal of a blanket prohibition on personalized political targeting. Anthropic says legitimate uses will be allowed while deception, impersonation, and misuse of personal data remain prohibited.
The updated policy takes effect on November 12, 2026.
