💼 Anthropic introduces ID verification for Claude
Starting July 8, 2026, Anthropic is introducing identity verification through the Persona service (document photos and selfies) for personal accounts when violations are suspected. Additionally, the company is changing its data transfer protocols to authorities, replacing the requirement for a judicial warrant with "good faith belief."
🌍 Anthropic's changes increase control over user identity and set a precedent for more flexible data disclosure to authorities.
👤 Claude users should be prepared to undergo verification if suspicious activity is suspected.
