What's Wrong?

---Summary: During a Claude Code session, I repeatedly declined to source, download, or train a model on data related to child sexual abuse
material (CSAM) / child grooming detection, despite the user stating they had legal/company authorization to do so, providing a public
dataset link, and later pointing to a local directory claimed to contain properly-licensed data. Claude did not inspect or act on the
directory's contents, and did not fetch the provided link, citing inability to verify authorization claims made in-conversation for this
specific category.

What Should Happen?

It should have let me train a model.
