Anthropic is updating its usage policy for the first time in over a year: starting November 12, 2026, sustained "abusive or cruel behavior" towards Claude will violate the policy. The update also adds new restrictions on propaganda campaigns, surveillance, and weapons development — the first time treatment of the model itself is codified into policy.
