🛒 Claude handed over a user’s data to police after a threat was reported.

A Florida resident used Claude as a personal “diary,” but one day wrote that she wanted to buy a gun and shoot up the sheriff’s office.

The system considered the message a potential threat and passed the information to Anthropic. The company then notified the police.

The woman was charged with making a written threat of violence—a second-degree felony in Florida.

Her conversation with Claude was also included in the case as evidence.
