Trump blacklisting of "woke" Anthropic deemed illegal by federal judge

A federal judge in the Northern District of California ruled that the Trump administration’s designation of Anthropic as a national-security supply-chain risk was illegal retaliation violating the First Amendment. The order vacated directives barring Anthropic’s Claude AI after the company refused to remove restrictions on lethal autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. The judgment granted key portions of Anthropic’s summary-judgment motion.
