I was sent an email saying that my account was flagged to be in violation of Open AI policies. I was trying to summarize a report about American Indian Boarding Schools which contains documentation of sexual abuse of children and violent act committed by priests, nuns and the US Government. Such abuses have been documented by the US Dept of Interior report, “Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigative Report.”
This seems to be an oversight and makes me concerned about the discernment of such policies.
Yes, OpenAI setting an AI loose and giving it the ability to ban people for policy violations and permanently remove accounts and also keep purchased credits is the exact kind of decision making that is spelled out as a violation of their own policies.

You really do need to provide an example of OpenAI doing this before you continue to try to start this insidious rumor.
I’m not going to start a new prepay account just to get it banned (and see that they don’t use the connection of personal information to ban other accounts).
We’ll see the trickling in of more pre-pay credit ban anecdotes you like to scorn, though.
You can search the forum or Reddit for “janitor.ai” to see the results of intelligence-based identification.
perhaps including a syntactical hint to only retrieve sources, or to rely on widely public data could help. Just speculating though- good luck!
To be fair, almost all the reports of people getting banned are well-deserved.
In this particular case though, if the OP’s report is accurate, almost certainly doesn’t warrant a ban.
When you say “flagged” was your account terminated or was this a warning?
Can you share a screenshot of the email with any personally identifying information reacted?
Also, if you can share examples of prompts and responses you were getting that will help us understand if there might have been a way to avoid raising a flag
