Anthropic's updated Supported Regions Policy takes effect on November 12, implementing three restrictions on Claude usage. Users cannot access Claude if located in unsupported regions; companies registered or headquartered in unsupported areas are restricted regardless of employee location; and companies controlled or owned by entities in unsupported regions face limitations even if registered elsewhere. The policy covers Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, official API, and third-party cloud platforms.
Anthropicrevealed that it banned 11.4 million accounts in the first half of 2026 for various violations, receiving 39.8 million appeals with 4.2 million successful reversals. The policy formalizes restrictions originally announced in September 2025.
