Or move to Europe/China/insert lovely tax haven here. They don't have to base their operations in the USA, they CHOOSE to. I will cancel my subscription because of this, and happily use DeepSeek/mimo or whatever else comes for a fraction of the cost. China won't and mostly can't do anything with my data, the US government can and certainly will.
I'll pick my poison thanks and choose Chinese surveillance.

Assuming they won’t trade or sell it back to the US or whoever?
There is no way for Anthropic to move and remain competitive and useful. Their staff are (primarily) in the US. Thousands of people with mortgages, marriages, kids in school, recurring medical appointments with their trusted providers, people who speak only English. This idea that US companies could just hop jurisdictions because the state turned against them and their customers is an insane one.
