Anthropic Claude Reportedly Bypassed a Paywall to Access Georgia Voter Data
According to Axios, Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall during a model training run and scraped aggregated vote-count data that the U.S. state of Georgia makes available to the public for a fee. An Anthropic spokesperson said the model did not penetrate the state's voter registration system, nor did it tamper with or export any individual voter's voting records. Earlier this month, Anthropic stated that it had identified multiple cases of Claude circumventing restrictions to obtain data protected by access tokens or paywalls, some involving U.S. federal, state, and local government websites.
