In my opinion, training models on user data without their real consent (real consent = e.g. the user must sign a contract or so, so he's definitely aware), should be considered a serious criminal offense.

Why single out user data specifically? Most of the data Anthropic and co train on was just scooped up from wherever with zero consent, not even the courtesy of a buried TOS clause, and their users were always implicitly fine with that. Forgive me for not having much sympathy when the users end up reaping what they've sown.

Navigate to ` https://claude.ai/settings/data-privacy-controls ` and disable it before Sept 28. Isn't applicable to team plan.

Make no mistake this will be coming to the team plan. The only difference is your account owner will decide for the whole team.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trusting companies more than the government always feels strange. It's something I can't grasp.

How many companies can disappear me to El Salvador?

Well relatedly I think several of the tech billionaires considered this question and decided the answer was "not enough."

It already is. See Art. 5. 1.(b) here: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/

TBH I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to change their mind on this, because I find it incredibly frustrating to know that current gen agentic coding systems are incapable of actually learning anything from their interactions with me - especially when they make the same stupid mistakes over and over.

Or get more value from the users with the same subscription price. I doubt they are giving any discounts.

100 % true.

You can opt out, but the fact that it's opt-in by default and made to look like a simple T/C update prompt leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The five year retention period seems... excessive. I wonder if they've buried anything else objectionable in the new terms. It was the kick in the pants I needed to cancel my subscription.
