Anthropic restricts Claude to adults

Anthropic limits its consumer product Claude to users 18 and older, requiring age confirmation at signup and disabling accounts flagged as minors. Users can reinstate accounts by verifying age via third‑party Yoti (selfie age estimate, ID photo, or Yoti app); Anthropic only receives a pass/fail result and does not see or store ID images.
