This provision means the rules governing how Anthropic's AI can be used are not uniform — government customers may be permitted to use Claude in ways that would be prohibited for all other users, based on Anthropic's private bilateral judgment.
Anthropic's Usage Policy affects all users by establishing clear boundaries on how Claude can be used, with real consequences including throttling, suspension, or permanent termination of access for violations. The policy's active monitoring by a dedicated Safeguards Team means user inputs may be reviewed, and CSAM-related violations will be reported to law enforcement. You can report harmful, biased, or inaccurate AI outputs directly to usersafety@anthropic.com or via the thumbs-down feedback button in Anthropic's products.
