Other users voiced concerns about privacy and civil liberties. The monitoring targets dissenters against fast artificial intelligence expansion. No statement from Anthropic appears in the packet.

@MorePerfectUSAnthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a “pre-crime” approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

@DarrigoMelanie“Capitalism breeds innovation” but the innovation is violating our rights and privacy through mass surveillance instead of eliminating poverty.
@MiguelNicolelisHere we go! For thos who still doubt what is the real objective of these guys! Total surveillance is kn its way! Enjoy!
@davidrkadlerDear god 🤯 This is apocalypse for American democracy, brought to you by the 'good guys' over at Anthropic. Anthropic sold themselves as the antidote to OpenAI, risking it all to take on Trump's war machine. Now, they are quietly building the systems that Trump will deploy to wreck what remains of our civil liberties. My friends: We are slouching faster and faster toward Bethlehem! 🚨 Any Dem worth our votes will vow to kill these algorithms on sight, or the Constitution will not be worth the parchment it was written on.
