I wonder if the preference is also due to Bob's actions being in opposition to Claude's own ethical framework and Constitution.

you could have just typed that out though. A link to Claude.ai using the share button would be more incontrovertible.

I considered pasting the screenful or two of the LLM chat, but decided that it would anger most HN users who had to scroll past it.

It shouldn't. It should share the prompts & response, not user data.
