REVIEWED FACTS

What LessBother can support.

Advertising
Anthropic says Claude will remain ad-free and will not include advertiser-influenced responses or unrequested third-party product placements.
Commerce
Anthropic says it is interested in user-initiated agentic commerce and product/business integrations while keeping the user, not an advertiser, as the initiator.
Model improvement
Anthropic says consumer Inputs and Outputs may be used to train/improve models unless the user opts out, with documented safety/feedback exceptions.
Technical data
The privacy policy describes device, browser, IP-derived location, identifiers, usage information and cookies/similar technologies.

WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE

Keep the accusation narrower than the evidence.

  • That Claude has no commercial incentives at all; Anthropic sells subscriptions, APIs and enterprise services.
  • That future product policies can never change; LessBother watches the commitment for that reason.
  • That user-initiated commerce integrations are equivalent to advertising.

No magic trust number.

Commercialization, privacy and recommendation behavior are different questions. LessBother keeps the reviewed facts separate and preserves later official-source changes instead of collapsing everything into one unexplained score.
