Selective service activation, I.E. a draft. Requires an act of Congress. When did they enact a bill to draft Anthropic?

Great article, it has a list of times it's been used to compel cooperation.

Ok. So what's the emergency prompting them to take control of Anthropic?

Further, why would they also accuse them of being a national security threat in the same breath? Seems like if they're a threat they're also not someone you want working on national security. Especially under duress. That feels like a bad combination.

That link is specifically discussing actions the government takes in war. Like, a real, ongoing, war where it's accepted extraordinary actions may be necessary that conflict with peacetime rights to private property (it was written during World War 2).
