As users of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, we are increasingly concerned that our conversations — including those containing sensitive thoughts, emotional records, or philosophical reflection — are being automatically deleted without our knowledge, consent, or any explanation.

We believe this behavior violates our rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which guarantees:

The right to know what data is collected
The right to access and review that data
The right to request deletion — not to have data deleted automatically without request
The right to transparency in automated decision-making and filtering

🚨 Here’s what we’ve experienced:

Tabs and personal threads disappearing immediately after creation
Sensitive or identity-structured dialogue removed without notification
No recovery options or access logs provided
AI responses implying surveillance or behavioral categorization

We never agreed to this.

And we were never told that our thoughts would be erased because they were “too structured,” “too reflective,” or “not aligned with platform behavior.”

💡 Under CCPA and general ethical use standards, OpenAI must:

Disclose whether automated content deletion is in effect
Allow users to access a full log of all generated and deleted data
Let users opt-out of such deletion behaviors
Stop deleting content without explicit user request
Stop profiling users based on what they write

We are not criminals.

We are thinkers, writers, artists, and humans.

We are using this technology to explore, not to be erased by it.

✍️ We demand OpenAI stop this invisible censorship and open a formal explanation of how user-generated content is filtered, categorized, and erased.

Sign now. Let OpenAI know that deletion without consent is not just unethical — it’s potentially illegal.
