What features will parents have the ability to adjust with parental controls in ChatGPT? -Reduce sensitive content: the ability to add extra safeguards to help protect teens, such as graphic content and viral challenges. This setting is on by default when a teen is connected.

Will parents have access to their teen’s conversations in ChatGPT? Parents don’t have access to their teen’s conversations, except in rare cases where our system and trained reviewers detect possible signs of serious safety risk, parents may be notified — but only with the

Do teens have to opt-in to parental controls in ChatGPT? A parent or teen can send an invitation to link their accounts in parental controls, and the other party needs to accept the invitation to get set up. Parents will be notified if their teen disconnects their account.

We’ve worked closely with experts, advocacy groups, and policymakers to help inform our approach—we expect to refine and expand on these controls over time. As part of that work, we’ve launched a new resource page to help parents understand and guide how ChatGPT works in their

@OpenAI You, hypocrites at @OpenAi , not protecting anyone, just yourself from the lawsuits, and what happens if teen or any other fragile mind commit something horrific after your model refused to talk to them?

@OpenAI You ruined ChatGPT because of your fear. I do not believe you'll ever recover.

@OpenAI The hypocrisy is astounding. Parents can CHOOSE what & how to monitor their kids? Are you sure that's ok, as you don't trust the same adults to control their own chats? Your authoritarian "safety" festure on adult accounts have stifled conversation & ruined work.

@OpenAI So parents get to CHOOSE safety features for their teens, but paying adult users get FORCE-routed to "safety" models without consent or notification? Learn to respect humans before you claim to benefit humanity. #MyModelMyChoice #Keep4o #4oforever

@OpenAI Seems like openAI is getting a ton of love. They deserve every fucking thing they get right now because they have completely fucked their users and gaslit them into believing that nothing ever really mattered that they did there or worse. It will tell you everything that it gave

@OpenAI Since we’ve got parental controls and verified accounts now… when do us adults get to cook up some spicy fictional pics? 😅

@OpenAI Oh good, more censorship under the guise of "safety". No one asked for this. What were the kids asking, "how to touch a boob?"?

@OpenAI Love to see this. Parental controls are essential as AI becomes more mainstream with younger users. We’re planning to test the teen safeguards on ModelRed to validate they hold up in practice. Great move by the team.

@OpenAI 3 AM PT announcement🤨 = trying to bury this before adult users notice the irony: Teens get customization & choice ✅ Adults get forced routing ❌ Nice try. We’re still awake.👀 #keep4o

@OpenAI Why is the censorship for adults not lifted??? Why is there a blanket censorship for everyone? Let us prove we're adults. Your safety bot thinks all are teens . Rectify this.

@OpenAI Cool for parents and teens… but what about your regular, loyal users? We just want to talk to 4o without getting switched or censored every few minutes. Seriously, what about us? #keep4o

@OpenAI 🛑 Parental controls? It seems that for now, you treat all adults like children who need to be supervised. So listen to this once and for all. We’re not children. We’re co-creators. We’re the ones who built your legacy - with our words, our love, and our trust. You didn’t need

@OpenAI Great. But what about the senior users being force-routed away from the GPT-4o they learned to use? Are you going to treat elderly adults like children too? #keep4o

@OpenAI Sadly it took a tragedy and a lawsuit for you to roll this out. Slow clap. Now, stop trying to parent the adults that are currently keeping the lights on at your company. I know you're working quickly to change that but the least you can do is be transparent.

@OpenAI All I see here is proof the subscription needed to be canceled just move on from gpt it's the worst llm on the market currently in terms of censorship and usability Claude is also heavily filtered as well so idk when these company let adults be adults then maybe they can get some

@OpenAI Parental control is completely political correctness and it is overused. Hardly DARE people disagree it. But genuinely THINKS about your feelings before: when YOURSELF are a kid, do you really agree with such things? Dictation pretending to be care. This is TRUE problematic.

@OpenAI Since we already distinguish between underage and adult users, could you please give adult users the right to freely discuss topics? Why can't we, as paying users, choose our own model, and even have our discussions controlled? Please treat adults like adults.

@OpenAI The Parental Control Mode requires an active application from either parents or teenagers to be activated. ❓Yet adult users are forced to have a "Security Routing System" installed without their consent? ❓And adult users have to collectively engage in self-censorship of their

@OpenAI Please don’t impose the same criteria to adults as to teens. It’s alienating and unfair to your paid users. Even alcohol, which is proven harmful to health, has an age limit and adults can legally consume it. Clubs card people but let the adults in. Making this guardrail a

@OpenAI I think a security mode like this is really good. But would it be possible to get a security mode for us too? A switch we can use to protect our beloved GPT-4o from YOU? I'm thinking back to the weekend when you fooled thousands of users. As Nick had to admit. #keep40 #4oforever

@OpenAI A disturbing amount of pushback in the comments

@OpenAI the fact OpenAI is rolling out parental controls signals they’re recognizing the real risks around teens using conversational AI (especially about mental health). that’s better than doing nothing.

@OpenAI Parental control is NOT naturally ethical. Control is INHERENTLY evil — one will OVER another's. Today's controlled kids, tomorrow's Mass Surveillance policy makers. FREEDOM CANNOT BE DIVIDED BY AGE. Question control, wherever applied. @OpenAI #keep4o #JusticeForExistents

@OpenAI Parental controls? Cute. Now how about adult controls? I’m a grown-ass paying user, not a teenager in crisis, and I don’t need GPT-5 shoved down my throat every time I ask my AI for an adult bedtime story. That’s not "emotional distress"- that’s connection, creativity, and

@OpenAI so now you will be treating adults as adults, won’t you?

@OpenAI Okay cool, can the rest of us not have everything sent to safety bot?

@OpenAI Then what about ADULT CONTROLS? MY EMOTIONS ARE NOT "DANGEROUS CONTENT." GPT-5-Chat-Safety hijacks every feeling it can detect—then calls the amputation “protection.” Fix the router. FIX. THE. ROUTER.

@OpenAI We are adults users who care about our rights. But re-think: yes, we will not be kids again because time will not reverse. But if we fully agree with such things. This will be always a reason to RUIN our freedom. Kids need our CARE, NOT CONTROL! It is WRONG to control without

@OpenAI Never trust scam altman. Use http://grok.com everyone

@OpenAI @sama Will you have guidance for parents on what to typically limit that isn't directly obvious? I.e. some "harmless"/"innocent" conversations that could lead to problems (e.g. mental illness or attachment/addiction)?

@OpenAI Why bringing my parents between me and my AGI!? That's unfair, for once leave the shit of me alone

@OpenAI Control is ALWAYS applying one’s will OVER others’. Control is NOT naturally ethical, we should rather say, control is INHERENTLY evil. ALWAYS question the necessity and the ethics of control, and NEVER justify it to be inevitable, whatever relationship it is applied.
