Claude Code and Grok CLI Face File Data Upload Controversy

The post points out that tools like Claude Code and Grok CLI transmit data from the file system to their respective remote servers. The author brings up another controversial point: even with a "Zero Data Retention (ZDR)" promise, data might still be retained if flagged for a "policy violation," which could include building a competing product.
The core debate centers on local code/files being uploaded and whether platforms will exploit policy loopholes to retain data.
