A Florida Woman Used Claude as a Diary. An Anthropic Employee Read It and Reported It to Police

A Florida woman was arrested after Anthropic's safety systems flagged her Claude diary entries where she wrote she would 'shoot up' a sheriff's office and mentioned getting a new gun. Anthropic's human review team reported the flagged entries to law enforcement, leading to her felony charge for written threat of violence. Anthropic's terms explicitly reserve the right to report user inputs to law enforcement at the company's discretion, and flagged conversations are used as training data for safety detection systems.
