My account was deactivated and all avenues of appeal have been pretty clearly blocked . There seems to be zero ways to legitimately advocate for myself and it’s incredibly frustrating and demoralizing .
Account
- Plan: ChatGPT Plus

- Reason given: child safety / CSAM
What I was using it for
My daughter recently had a seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy, and most of my recent use was asking about her health. I’ve also used the account for adult fiction and character creation, always with clear, repeated instructions to stay within the content guidelines.
I have never used ChatGPT to request, create, upload, roleplay, or discuss sexual content involving minors. Not once, in any form and I’m disgusted to even be associated with the label in any way.
What may have triggered it
I wasn’t told which conversation was flagged, so these are only guesses. My chats included legitimate, sensitive terms around:
- Pediatrics and child health
- Pregnancy and gynecology
- Anatomy, diagnosis, and other medical questions
- Future family planning
- Adult fiction involving pregnant characters
If any of these tripped the classifier, I’m asking that the full conversation be reviewed in context. It was medical, or adult and within guidelines, and never exploitative.
Appeal history
I appealed through the official process. It was upheld moments after I submitted it, which suggests no one actually reviewed it. Without knowing what was flagged, I can’t give a more specific explanation.
Account security
If there’s any sign of unauthorized access, compromised credentials, or unusual logins, tell me what you need and I’ll provide it.
As someone who has personally experienced exploitation, I fully support strict enforcement against CSAM and take it seriously. I’m not asking for an exception to the policy. I’m asking for a false positive to be corrected.
