For personal plans only, starting July 8th. Quote: "Your ID and selfie are collected and held by Persona, not on Anthropic's systems."

Yes, that is even worse. I don't get it. Anthropic tries to sell AI but manual intelligence would suggest you wouldn't wire up your service to Persona after it repeatedly and actively abused "customer"/client data.

Persona is a toxic and radioactive pile of privacy violations and if it was required for business customers, we certainly would migrate of Anthropic.

I hate this.

It's understandable Anthropic would do this to limit their liability against minors getting harmed. Especially with laws like California's AB 2023 in the works, where parents can sue a chatbot maker if the chatbot harms their child.

Still, I hate that I have to share biometrics and blindly trust that Persona is doing cybersecurity properly.
