Anthropic asks full DC appeals court to rehear Pentagon blacklist of Claude
mark_k · x · 2026-10-15
After losing a 2-1 appeals court ruling in September, Anthropic is asking the full D.C. appeals court to reconsider the Pentagon's decision to blacklist Claude as a national security supply-chain risk.
- The dispute began when Anthropic refused to let Claude be used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous lethal weapons; the Pentagon argued such restrictions could interfere with military operations.
- Anthropic claims the blacklist was retaliation for its AI safety stance.
- The irony: a company that has long pushed for tighter AI regulation is now fighting government power used against itself.
