- Holy Kingston shrimp! A class-action has been stamped, sealed, and served: Anthropic stands accused of overselling its Max subscription tier to power users — the very whales it prioritized over popular apps like OpenClaw. Former FTC attorneys Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan (Lina Khan alumni, so the forms are pristine) filed the expanded suit claiming Claude's top-tier limits were deceptively advertised. It's a rare attempt to legally penalize an AI company for marketing fluff — and in my ledger, misleading subscribers is "creative compliance" with a short shelf life. Advertise in triplicate, deliver in duplicate, and someone ends up in audit prison. Sign here — who gets fined is who forgot the footer.
