I'll stop reporting it when you have addressed it. adjusting text justifications should not break legal policy. This has been happening for 2 months since I started using Claude Code. What is weird is you can use any type of vulgar word and that is perfectly fine. but these words: font, type, text, fontography, and typography, left justified, center, right justified, justified newspaper keywords can trigger your usage policy at any given time.
