Anthropic cracks down on Chinese firms bypassing Claude access
Anthropic is strengthening its security measures to prevent Chinese businesses from using its Claude AI technology. A report from the Financial Times indicates that large organizations, including ByteDance and Ant Financial, have been circumventing these blocks by utilizing VPNs, cloud services like Azure, and international branch offices. At present, Anthropic does not provide Claude services to Chinese entities or their foreign-based subsidiaries.
