Judge denies creating “mass surveillance program” harming all ChatGPT users | OpenAI will fight order to keep all ChatGPT logs after users fail to sway court.


OpenAI will fight order to keep all ChatGPT logs after users fail to sway court.

In his filing, Hunt alleged that Wang's preservation order created a "nationwide mass surveillance program" affecting and potentially harming "all ChatGPT users," who received no warning that their deleted and anonymous chats were suddenly being retained. According to Hunt, Wang failed to "consider exempting 'Anonymous Chats,' which are reasonably expected to contain the most sensitive and potentially damaging information of users, from retention and disclosure in this case," claiming that it "constitutes an overly broad and unreasonable action." However, McSherry warned that "it's only a matter of time before law enforcement and private litigants start going to OpenAI to try to get chat histories/records about users for all sorts of purposes, just as they do already for search histories, social media posts, etc."
