The West will use it to spy the Nation. They might also use it to invite hatred against the Government

All those countries have one thing in common; their leaders want absolute control of their citizens.

Re: 20 Countries Where Chatgpt Is Banned In 2025 by NwaIgboBoy(m): 9:20am On Aug 14, 2025
Those countries believe that America, who is the main developer of this ChartGPT could be spying on them. If you checked those listed countries they aren't strong allies with USA.

However, here in Nigeria we accept anything we see, our government may not have any business regulating any $hit as long as it doesn't affect their chain of looting our treasure, it's fine with them
grin

Facebook, google, twitter, almost all apps harvest, sell or steal your info

If your app is free, your info is the product being sold.

Yes which is why they all need to be banned in every country

China and Russia have done it a long time ago.

Be careful how you use that app. It's coded to most times agree with your bias. You can be mediocre or under performing and it will hype you on. No let ChatGPT destroy your life ooo.

You're absolutely correct.
The things people search on ChatGPT and other AI tools reflect the happenings in the country of use.
That means these tools will collect data without even preparing a single questionnaire!

Its not only chatgbt that we have in this world.

I dont even use it. Has very scanty info.

If you expand your research work on what you get from chatgbt, you may end up with an average mark. I prefer deepseek and it's owned by china. Who uses chatgbt when there is deepseek?
Because it's from America?

The reason is usually national security risk, especially on government devices. Those data you feed AI might be used against you.
