The US government just banned Fable 5 for all foreign nationals.
Anthropic's fix? Disable it for everyone, because verifying nationality at scale is nearly impossible.

This is exactly the problem ZK proofs were built to solve.
You shouldn't have to hand over your passport to prove you're eligible.
Prove your age. Prove your citizenship. Prove your identity.
Without revealing anything.
No centralized database. No breach risk. No surveillance.
That's what I've been building with ZKAuth — zero-knowledge identity for the real world.
The Fable 5 situation isn't just a policy debate.
It's a preview of what AI access looks like without privacy-preserving identity infrastructure.
