Dev accuses Anthropic of hypocrisy: banning rivals while preaching trust
kuza55 · x · 2026-08-29
A developer publicly questions Anthropic's commitment to trust and openness, listing alleged anti-competitive moves: banning Windsurf during its acquisition by OpenAI, blocking xAI employees, cutting off OpenCode, targeting ClawdBot, and revoking "Login with Claude" for third parties. The post argues openness is celebrated only until it creates competition and criticizes the Claude ecosystem for being restrictive and limiting tools to subpar internal options.
