Should users be banned? If Anthropic wants to be the next Google, meaning revolutionize the internet and the way computers are used. Should users be banned?
I've been reading a lot of horror stories lately about people getting banned for stupid things like "research work," standard usage, or simply security research.
Who decides? Exactly, the model. Then you get banned without the possibility of appeal because same model read appeals. Sure, people create new accounts, but it's only a matter of time before Claude Code collects device fingerprints. Perhaps it's already doing so.
Should Claude Code even ban people? Regardless of what they typed, what they asked, what they programmed, it's the model's fault for allowing such work to happen. Not the people's fault.
I could understand if it were a private model with a few users, but not something that impacts the entire IT and internet.
Such bans give the company disproportionate power.
It's like someone banning you from Google Search.
I haven't been banned myself yet, but it's starting to piss me off.
