You misunderstand - the government issued a directive to Anthropic that effectively forced them to pull access from everyone, even their own employees.

- hk__2 3mo agoThe directive was to remove access to non-Americans, not to pull access from everyone. It’s because Anthropic cannot verify the identity of its users that it pulled access from everyone, not because the government explicitely requested that.

- msm_ 3mo ago>I'm pretty sure that they are not employing only US citizen Understatement. They have 14 offices, only 4 of them are in the US (6 are in EMEA, 4 in APAC).
- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> directive was to remove access to non-Americans Did Hegseth pull his supply-chain risk BS?
- sailfast 3mo agoNo - this was a separate power unrelated to the supply chain risk which is still in effect.
- scottyah 3mo agoWell, kinda in effect. He lacked the authority to make the call, and it is quite obviously being ignored by most suppliers. If it were actually enforced, I believe no companies that are contractors for the DoD could even host Anthropic- like GCP, Azure, and AWS. Perhaps they are currently figuring out how to get off all cloud provider govclouds, but I doubt it.
- kelnos 3mo agoYes that's what "effectively" means.
