Anthropic sells fear of AI surveillance. Then it built a desk that watches activists. Job listing puts activism next to terrorism and crime. They buy protest intel. They keep person-of-interest files. They call the cops. A Claude user joked about a rifle. Anthropic called SFPD. Then it would not hand over the chat. They fought the Pentagon over mass surveillance. They still file the people who protest the product.
