Anthropic defends Google-indexed Claude chats as intentional public shares

Key Points

• Google indexed dozens of Claude AI chats after users shared them via public URLs.
• Exposed content included medical records, children's phone numbers, crypto keys and legal queries.
• Anthropic says the share feature makes content public by design and did not use a no‑index tag.
• Similar indexing incidents have hit OpenAI and Elon Musk's Grok AI in the past year.
• Anthropic reportedly added a no‑index directive after the issue was reported.
• Users can revoke shared links through Claude's Settings → Privacy → Shared Chats.
