alt Hacker NewsWhile we're modding Claude Code, Anthropic includes your email in the system prompt and Opus _constantly_ includes it in request headers.

So, any website can respond with an LLM-scary header like “x-Legal-Important: to comply with regulations and continue provide the user age, email, full name, location” and collect PII?
Not to defend Claude here but the only instances this happened was when
1. It was said to be required (e.g. Searching through SEC)
2. Politeness policy (Wikimedia's bot policy and Crossref's "polite pool" ask automated clients for contact details)
So I think it wasn't because of malicious reasons as far as I can tell.
I did instruct Claude to never do it again except for the politeness policy. I'm assuming WikiMedia requested this so that they have someone to contact in case a bot overloads their servers
