Trump blacklisting of "woke" Anthropic deemed illegal by federal judge
2026-08-28 · Ars Technica
The Trump administration blacklisted Anthropic for being too 'woke' after the company refused to help build killer robots and mass surveillance systems. A federal judge said that's illegal, because apparently punishing companies for not wanting to build Skynet violates some rules. Who knew 'we'd rather not help with autonomous killing' was a controversial stance in 2026.
