OpenAI banned Russian ChatGPT accounts used for influence ops

Dela

OpenAI says it just took down a real influence operation that used ChatGPT to generate posts and comments across major social platforms. That matters because it makes online “grassroots” content harder to trust—and easier to scale.

In OpenAI’s August 25, 2026 disclosure, it described a cluster of Russian accounts using VPNs to evade access restrictions and produce coordinated content distributed on Substack, Telegram, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Reuters highlighted it as a concrete enforcement action amid growing concern about AI-enabled manipulation.
