This is such a strange way for this to be announced. Why is openclaw telling us this? I wouldn't even trust it until Anthropic says so themselves.

It's the PayPal model of customer service: they'll ban you at any time for any reason or none at all, but if you're very nice they might be willing to have a human look at that decision at some point, but probably not.

    Straight up PayPal and Venmo can go to hell. They banned my account, I painted a gun for a guy with a cerakote bale-on setup. He paid with PayPal and they banned me. His gun, just a legal service to paint it.

    I pulled our company portal away from PayPal when they refused to restore my account.

    Five years later, I tried to re-activate and the human I finally got to effectively told me to fuck off; so I will spend the rest of my life bashing that trash company at every chance.

    Oh yeah that happened to my paypal the one time I had a user donate to me!

    At least the only action I was still able to perform was to refund the user, or paypal would have just kept the money.

They had this on here since day 1 of the block. This is just Openclaw saying "if you run Openclaw inside Claude Code, it's compliant with the Anthropic ToS", because, well, it's literally running inside Claude Code.

What's not allowed is grabbing the oauth tokens and using these for your own custom agent, which is what was (and still is) banned.

Nothing has changed, this appears to just be a giant misunderstanding (and probably a poor choice of words from Openclaw).

    That's how I took that; if I installed CC and worked in CC to modify OC, all good. If I ran the openclaw gateway itself with a CC oauth key, my bad.
