The methodology used questions from a 2025 Stanford-Dartmouth framework, 30-word capped responses, and human scoring. A June 29 New York Post editorial amplified the findings, adding that Claude reportedly declined to flag extreme statements from a House candidate's social-media feed while complying with an equivalent request about President Trump, per the NYPost.
