Good statement by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (npub1m24…d9a3) on the Anthropic case that deserves our support.
"Anthropic is asking courts to block the designation, arguing that the First Amendment does not permit the government to coerce a private actor to rewrite its code to serve government ends.”
Regardless of how you feel about AI, this case is about much more than that and could pose a huge risk to cryptography and privacy software in the future if won by the US Department of War.
