“A federal judge ruled late Thursday that the Trump administration violated Anthropic’s First Amendment rights by blacklisting the artificial-intelligence company as a supply-chain risk,” the [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/judge-rules-trump-administration-violated-anthropics-first-amendment-rights-0c20c442?mod=hp_lead_pos2) reports.

“U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin of the Northern District of California mostly sided with Anthropic in a final ruling on the company’s March lawsuit against the Trump administration, saying the government had erred in its haste to label Anthropic a supply-chain risk.”
