Some judicial pushback against authoritarian policies is good to see.

Which of course would look exactly like judicial pushback against authoritarian policies.

> Nothing in the governing statute supports the Orwellian notion that an American company may be branded a potential adversary and saboteur of the U.S. for expressing disagreement with the government
What issue do you take with that statement or the outcome here? I think Anthropic’s position on what the tech should not be used for was well reasoned.
It feels like the govt. flipped out based on their public messaging and this whole ordeal - instead of them themselves being more measured and just choosing not to use Anthropic’s services if they take an issue with it.
