Assessment

On March 9, 2026, Anthropic updated their Consumer Terms of Service with a single cosmetic sentence modification — adding a duplicate title heading to the document. No substantive terms were altered. This change touches no regulatory framework in a material way and requires no compliance action. Routine monitoring only.
