Anthropic bans users from needless abusive or cruel behavior toward Claude

Anthropic has barred users from exhibiting "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior" toward its models, according to a policy change first reported by The Verge. The company's online user policy says the ban does not cover common user frustrations, model testing, or "dark creative themes." Anthropic has not yet explained what counts as "abusive or cruel" behavior.
