Anthropic now bans users for sustained abuse toward Claude under new usage policy
chrisfirst · x · 2026-10-09
Anthropic's new usage policy allows the company to ban users who are sustainedly abusive toward Claude.
Writing 'abuse toward the model' into terms of service is unusual—vendors typically ban for misuse or policy-violating content, not for how users talk to the model. Enforcement details remain unclear.
