Anthropic updates Claude usage policy; continuous abuse of Claude can lead to account suspension

Anthropic updates Claude usage policy for the first time in over a year, prohibiting users from continuously and unnecessarily abusing or acting cruelly towards Claude. Violators may face warnings, throttling, restrictions, or termination of access. This clause applies only to extreme cases and does not cover common dissatisfaction, dissent, dark creative themes, or model testing research. The update also integrates new restrictions on propaganda, weapons, and surveillance, while acknowledging potential exceptions for government contracts.
