Anthropic Restricts Claude to Users 18 and Older via Age Assurance

First seen · 9/11/2026, 06:48 PMLatest activity · 9/11/2026, 06:48 PM

Anthropic has updated its support documentation to clarify that Claude is strictly restricted to users aged 18 and older, implementing age assurance mechanisms to verify user eligibility. The policy reflects escalating legal obligations worldwide regarding minor online safety and data privacy. While closing access for younger learners, the verification requirements also present Anthropic with fresh scrutiny over how it handles sensitive identification data.
