ChatGPT Privacy Debacle: Court Order Turns Data Deletion Into a Fantasy
ChatGPT users deserve the right to delete their personal data, but a misguided court order now requires OpenAI to store all conversations indefinitely. This decision disregards privacy rights and sets a dangerous precedent, leaving 300+ million users’ personal details lingering like your embarrassing middle school photos you wish you could delete from the internet.

Key Points:
- Court order mandates OpenAI to keep all ChatGPT conversations indefinitely.
- This order disregards the privacy rights of over 300 million users.
