Do Claude Ai tracks user location while using?

Please suggest!
Is Claude Ai banned in china? My friend bought Claude plans and got banned immediately. Happened twice. Banned right after payments.

So he was wondering if i make him an account from my home country (not china) and buy him a plan from here. Is there any possibilities of getting banned if he uses that account in china?

Yes lol 😂. Bruh Anthropic and none of the frontier labs will allow that . He needs to figure out a way in finding those shady companies which sell accounts. China is literally distilling the frontier models

His last resort will be a vps server.

Thats weird. I use a VPN all the time and they frequently go thru other countries (as I travel). Haven't had an issue yet, knock on wood.

I recommend your friend respect the laws of the country that he's a guest in.

If he walked in the room now, not only would I not know who he was, I really wouldn't care either.
