American artificial intelligence company Anthropic is facing a new class action lawsuit, accusing it of false advertising and misleading paying users regarding its Max subscription tier. Lawyers Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan represent a group of Claude subscribers, claiming that Anthropic deceitfully set service limitations in advertisements, resulting in users not receiving the maximum benefits they deserve for their payments. Although Anthropic emphasizes that paying users are crucial to its business and prioritizes protecting their rights (including by removing other popular apps like OpenClaw), some customers believe the company has failed to keep its promises. This lawsuit was initiated by former officials of the Federal Trade Commission, aiming to hold AI companies legally accountable.

A new class action lawsuit questions whether Anthropic broke the law by misleading power users

Anthropic 因误导付费用户而面临新的集体诉讼,指控其 Max 订阅层级存在虚假宣传。原告律师 Monica Vaca 和 Kati Daffan 代表一组 Claude 订阅用户提起诉讼,称 Anthropic 在广告中欺骗性地设定了服务限制,导致用户未获得顶级定价应有的更多收益。尽管 Anthropic 强调付费用户对其业务至关重要,并为此优先保障其权益(包括切断其他热门应用如 OpenClaw),但部分客户认为公司未能兑现承诺。此次诉讼由前联邦贸易委员会官员发起,旨在对 AI 公司进行法律追责,相关详情见 The Verge 报道。
