Hasn’t the us declared to the entire world they want to mass surveillance all their citizens when they banned anthropic?

Not necessarily - that was misdirection.

Domestic surveillance was an example of a limitation that Anthropic wanted to put on their software. But in order to enforce that limitation, Anthropic would both need to monitor DoD usage of their tools and have a kill switch. Both of these were the real sticking point and the reason why the Trump Admin was willing to make an example of Anthropic.
