Claude Users Quit Subscriptions Over Anthropic’s Invisible Watermark

Anthropic announced that Claude-generated text will include an imperceptible watermark that travels with copied content and may survive edits, aimed at distinguishing AI output and meeting EU AI Act requirements. Some Claude users have canceled subscriptions (notably Claude Max at ~$100/month) over concerns the watermark could appear in client work or code, while others see it as promoting transparency. Anthropic says the watermark signals processing, not authorship, and plans a free API to let users check for Claude’s watermark.

US Courts Block or Delay New Rules Aimed at Making Subscription Cancellations Easier

A US federal appeals court struck down the FTC's 'click-to-cancel' rule, which aimed to simplify subscription cancellations, citing procedural errors in the rule-making process. The decision halts the implementation of a regulation that would have required companies to allow cancellations through the same method used to sign up, impacting efforts to curb unfair subscription practices. This ruling is a setback for consumer protection initiatives and may lead to a restart of the rule-making process.
