Court rules Pentagon can blacklist Anthropic for refusing to enable Claude features
The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruled 2–1 that the Department of Defense may blacklist Anthropic for refusing to give the military access to certain Claude features, even without malicious intent. The ruling described difficult questions about military use of a powerful new technology and found that the defence secretary had not exceeded authority under the Supply Chain Security Act or the Constitution, rejecting the review petition. The court had already rejected Anthropic’s emergency stay request in April.
