Anthropic's usage policy will make abusive behavior toward Claude a violation effective November 12, 2026, formally encoding model welfare concerns. Investor Mike Solana seized on it to argue that caring about chatbot welfare to this degree raises uncomfortable questions, quipping "how is this not slavery?" The change has reignited debate over model moral status and where provider responsibility ends.
