Any app or platform using Claude that is designed for or likely to attract minor users must implement additional protections — failure to do so exposes the operator to COPPA liability and potential FTC enforcement.
Defense contractors and federal agencies using Claude must find alternatives. Enterprise customers with defense-adjacent business face compliance risk.
Anthropic's AUP directly affects what you can ask Claude to do — violations can result in your account being throttled, suspended, or permanently terminated without prior notice. For users of third-party apps built on Claude, the policy applies equally, meaning the app developer's failure to comply can affect your access too. You can report harmful or inaccurate AI outputs at usersafety@anthropic.com or via the in-product thumbs-down feedback feature.
