OpenAI Slams Court Order to Save All ChatGPT Logs, Including Deleted Chats
- On May 13, 2025, a federal court order issued by Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang instructed OpenAI to retain all ChatGPT output data, including conversations that users had deleted.
- The order stems from a 2023 lawsuit filed by The New York Times and others alleging OpenAI uses their content without permission, prompting data preservation demands.
- OpenAI complied immediately but did not notify users until June 5, 2025, which caused panic and raised privacy concerns across various platforms.
- OpenAI’s COO Brad Lightcap called the plaintiffs’ demand 'sweeping and unnecessary,' while CEO Sam Altman publicly condemned the order as an inappropriate precedent and confirmed an active appeal.
- This dispute highlights ongoing tensions between legal obligations to preserve data and commitments to user privacy, suggesting the need for clearer AI privacy frameworks.
