Anthropic updates usage policy, banning model abuse and election interference

Anthropic updates usage policy, adding bans on election interference, weapon software, and surveillance, and explicitly prohibiting long-term verbal abuse of models by users. The new clauses target repeated and purposeless cruelty towards models, excluding common user dissatisfaction, dark creative themes, or model testing research. The policy also establishes a dedicated section prohibiting the operation of fake accounts using Claude, fabricating news organizations, deceiving voters, or disrupting elections.
