Think age and ID verification is limited to social media? Think again. Get ready for new age and identity checks if you use LLMs.

Age and ID verification coming to Claude AI soon. Anthropic’s updated privacy policy (effective July 8, 2026) introduces age and identity verification provisions for Claude Free, Pro, and Max users. The process can involve a government ID and a live selfie, handled through Anthropic’s partner Persona Identities. https://privacy.claude.com/en/articles/10301952-updates-to-our-privacy-policy 🤡

This is yet another reason why you need a fully open source LLM for your coding or cybersecurity work if you need one forced by your work. The one that you run on your own system or GPU cluster. Not only do they now have all your data, but they are also building systems to identify you easily. This is incredibly dangerous for minorities, who are often targeted for political reasons or even for anyone who speaks out against bad stuff online. It is a very slippery slope stuff. be careful now.

@nixCraft Even the local ones are trained on stolen data, and ignore the copyrights and licenses in the training data.
