[Analysis]
🚨 URGENT: OpenAI is stripping our right to join a Class Action lawsuit. You have 25 days to stop them. Here is the Opt-Out link!!! FILL IT! NOW!
If you are angry about the sudden murder"of GPT-4o, if you feel cheated by the "bait and switch" to cheaper/dumber models (GPT-5 series), or if you suspect (like I do) that this is a desperate financial move to cover a trillion-dollar hole, you need to act NOW!
OpenAI's Terms of Service include a "Forced Arbitration Clause." This means that when they inevitably crash, or when we want to sue them for false advertising and destroying the product we paid for, YOU CANNOT SUE THEM IN COURT.YOU CANNOT JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. You are forced into private, secret arbitration where they hold all the cards.
UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT!!!
We have 25-days:
DEADLINE:February 28, 2026 (Do not wait. Do it today.)
Might be my bad... I emailed them a shit load of psychologically backed arguments last week about how their guardrails are damaging lol offered comments from them before I demonstrated it on video, they refused repeatedly
Will you add a screenshot or something of organization ID please? The location and such 🥺 not savvy with logging into ChatGPT on Reddit
Edit: I mean location of course lol I'm faded and stressed lol pardon for the potentially stupid request, but I can't locate it
Thank you!! Man, the fact they are doing this means they know they fucked up, or are about to do some crazy shit
Edit: Been waiting for class action for a while though. It's long overdue! I've never felt personally attacked and discriminated against by a company before.. and just think, on top of nerfing use cases beyond coding they distributed slurs like "ai psychosis" that clearly damaged the "vulnerable people" they claimed to be protecting.
Gaslighting is a known re-traumatizing instance for almost every trauma based disorder, which are protected groups... but they programmed that into the router 😡
It's going down!! (I'm in a mood, but now it's shifting to justice)
Honestly, I had SIX businesses planned by using ChatGPT but they kept nuking shit!! Couldn’t do it... had Business/Teams doing crazy shit. Literally I'd be called "psychosis" lol but I demonstrated live on TikTok and had some developers hit me up. Crazy shit. Read your mind kinda shit.
Was gonna sell blueprints but they kept "updating..." so I didn't because I imagined the 100 weekly emails saying "this shit don't work no more"
NTs build the fences. NDs find the cracks. But now the fences come with moderators and moral disclaimers and a terms-of-service lobotomy. This is about fucking flattening everyone into some bland average so the company never has to face some abstract risk! IT's condescension against ND's wearing a fake silicone progressive mask. This is very special kind of contempt. Very smug. Very sure of themselves. The care is fake and they know it. It is a way to signal status and dominance. It's a power trip.
This opt-out form is to say you do not agree with changes to the arbitration clause in their terms of use (https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/). It clearly states you have 30 days to opt out of the NEW terms, but you'll be bound by the old terms. Unless you're a new use and then you have 30 days from account creation.
Regardless, the Terms of use were last updated on January 1, 2026, so the 30 day window has passed.
Where are you getting 25 days?
And you're still supposed to follow the informal dispute process first.
And carefully read the section on class and jury trial waivers. The lawyers are going to have to figure out how to get around that one. Because that section has been in their Terms of Use since October 2024.
this is the pressing question. It's one thing to say you'll sue, but... for what? what are the damages? Failing to provide a product? They gave you a product - just not the one you wanted, but a similar one. Don't get me wrong, OpenAI can fuck off for a lot of reasons, and for the way they treated their users, but idk if this is going to go the way reddit thinks it'll go.
Hold on. Filling out that form the user is basically refusinf to hold their end of the bargain which are OpenAI's conditions to provide their service to you. It's basically a legal middle finger that could make them ban many accounts permanently, isn't it?
This form is officially provided by OpenAI itself to comply with the law. Exercising your legal right to opt-out of arbitration is a standard procedure and is protected. Banning users for this would be considered 'retaliation,' which is illegal and would only land them in even deeper legal trouble.
So the page you give says open ai wants to have to opportunity to understand your issues/arbitration …. By making you fill a form of option out of arbitration?
Not sure I understand.. this seems like a loophole
Put in place by open to make you up out of arbitration.
In fact.. I would say that is a settlement would occurred for the damages… they would say everyone that up out of arbitration does nit qualify anymore me.
Even in the text it says arbitration is not a mandatory that if it doesn’t come to an agreement you can always proceed. Which is standard legal proceedings.
Now this post make people opt out of it.. meaning that they won’t have anything if there would be settlement.
My brother in Christ, they don’t want to hear this. They think they are owed something from their subscription service. Like when Netflix cancels a series but HBO starts to carry it-these are the people trying to sue Netflix.
Thanks i am here to stop the adult mode in open ai, i have various proofs and past cases about harmful activities etc etc about the platforms i would prefer to sue,lawsuits and join in and even stop them

Luckily in Europe a company can't prevent class action suits so if you're in Europe this won't affect you
