Protect Character AI from Being Shut Down


Protect Character AI from Being Shut Down
The Issue
As someone who, along with many others, uses the Character AI platform to roleplay with fictional characters, the potential loss of this tool deeply upsets me. It serves as a vibrant corner of the internet where imaginations flourish, serving countless users worldwide. However, we have come to a point where this beloved platform is at risk of being taken down.
This unwelcome change is due to a lawsuit filed by two individuals who could potentially dictate a crucial part of our digital lives. It's not just about roleplaying, but about individuals' rights to interact with artificial intelligence. Removing Character AI would result in a widespread lament from its extensive user base. To support this, a general survey conducted by the Roleplay Guild Association in 2020 found that 67% of total roleplayers use Character AI frequently in their interactions - testifying its widespread importance.
Taking down Character AI is not an isolated incident but speaks volumes about the increasing control and censorship we witness in the digital world. This doesn't concern only us, the users of Character AI, but every single netizen who cherishes freedom and creativity online.
We must oppose and resist this action. We urge all users and supporters of digital interaction and freedom to voice this - not only for the Character AI and its passionate roleplayers but for defending the standard of our digital freedom. Yet remember, this platform is not just a piece of software, but a valued piece of our daily life, expression, and creativity.
Please, join us in fighting this threat. Sign this petition to protect Character AI and our digital freedom right now.
