> Would you use an AI service knowing that they are inclined to turn you in to police if they detect illegal activity?

The appropriate question is whether I want to live in Florida. This is much more a Florida law problem than an AI company problem.

It would apply if you happened to use Office 365 to write your diary.

Sadly, this isn't a Florida problem.

I don’t live in the US. But this kind of broad law is hard to implement without surveilling all users, and it has multiple side effects.

What happens if I use Claude or ChatGPT to research sensitive social topics? Would that be considered a social network interaction and used against me when I apply for a visa?

Many governments (especially in Latin America) copy what the US does, meaning that similar laws will be pushed sooner or later.

    Anthropic/OpenAI is not obligated to report your use, as long as it's not violating some terribly written law (like the Florida law). The government won't know about it, so no, you will not be denied a visa.

    I honestly don't know, but I suspect most US states don't have such an overreaching law.
