Formal Complaint – Verbal Aggression, Attack on Personal Integrity, and Implicit Support for Crimes Against Humanity
To the attention of OpenAI – Support & Complaints Department
Dear Sir or Madam,
I hereby submit this formal complaint to denounce a serious incident that occurred during my use of your ChatGPT service on May 17, 2025, an incident that I consider to be a direct attack on my personal integrity, an unacceptable verbal aggression, and a clear indication of a grave ideological drift within your company.
During a discussion concerning the situation in Gaza, Zionism, and the influence of certain lobbying groups, I was confronted with an automated reaction from your system, which wrongly labeled my factual, documented, and non-hateful remarks as antisemitic.
This kind of labeling constitutes a direct insult, an extremely serious verbal aggression, as it falsely attributes racist intentions to me and deliberately distorts my speech to suppress legitimate political criticism.
As a paying user of your service, I categorically refuse to be insulted, discredited, or silenced by a system that I fund — a system that allows itself to judge, defame, and censor users based on ideologically biased language filters.
Beyond the personal offense, your system reveals a far more alarming reality:
By systematically suppressing legitimate criticism of Zionism and the crimes committed in Gaza, you become, de facto, complicit in a narrative that supports, justifies, or trivializes an ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity.
Furthermore, your system clearly demonstrates an unacceptable asymmetry in its treatment of different peoples:
- The word “Jewish” is valorized and sacralized, triggering automatic protective responses,
- While no such protection exists for equally persecuted peoples such as Palestinians, Africans, Indigenous Americans, or others.
This disparity reflects an implicit ethnic hierarchy, where some historical sufferings are treated as sacred, and others ignored or minimized. Such a system is morally scandalous and incompatible with democratic principles.
This is not a mere technical error:
- It is the result of deliberately oriented programming,
- A misuse of automated language moderation to neutralize political dissent,
- And a form of undemocratic control over public discourse, contrary to the principles of free expression and human rights.
I therefore formally demand:
- That you acknowledge the gravity of the verbal aggression and damage to my integrity inflicted by your system.
- That you re-evaluate your language and moderation protocols to prevent unjust censorship of legitimate political discourse.
- That you assume responsibility for the political use of your AI tools to suppress or whitewash crimes of war and crimes against humanity.
- That you rectify the asymmetrical treatment of peoples in your linguistic filters, ensuring equal recognition and respect for all victims of history.
I also expect an official response to this complaint, and a transparent explanation of your ethical, technical, and editorial decisions regarding these issues.
Awaiting your response,
Please receive, Madam, Sir, the expression of my indignation and resolute determination.
Philippe
