Court strikes down Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic as unconstitutional

A federal judge ruled that the Pentagon's decision to blacklist AI company Anthropic was unconstitutional, calling it unlawful retaliation for the firm's refusal to allow certain military uses of its technology. The court found the national security justification was a pretext and that the action violated the First Amendment. The ruling is a significant victory for Anthropic in its ongoing dispute with the administration.
