For years, the promise of Artificial Intelligence has been its potential to uplift humanity. We trusted AI companies to build guardrails that would ensure these powerful tools were used responsibly and ethically. But a recent and deeply concerning shift has occurred, and we cannot remain silent.
Recent reports have detailed OpenAI’s growing cooperation with the Pentagon, including a significant loosening of its policies around military use. This is a profound betrayal of public trust. When the company that developed ChatGPT actively opens its doors to defense contracts, it signals that it prioritizes profit and access to power over foundational ethical principles.
The Contrast is Clear
The gravity of OpenAI’s decision becomes even more apparent when contrasted with other leaders in the field. Reports indicate that Anthropic, the creator of Claude, actively resisted pressure to cooperate with government surveillance efforts, prioritizing user privacy and ethical boundaries.
This isn’t just about business strategies; it’s about core values.
By aligning itself with military and surveillance capabilities, OpenAI is demonstrating that it lacks the moral compass necessary to lead the development of technology that impacts every facet of our lives. Their technology is now being integrated into systems used in conflicts, without transparent ethical oversight.
A Call to Action: Your Data, Your Choice
We refuse to support a company that is willing to trade its ethical stand for government contracts. We cannot trust our data or the future of AI to an organization that places surveillance before safety.
We are calling on our community to take a visible stand. It is time to explore and support ethical AI alternatives that respect user privacy and adhere to strict non-militarization principles.
Our campaign urges all users who value ethical technology to delete their ChatGPT accounts in protest. We must send a clear message: We will not fund the surveillance state or the militarization of AI.

Yesterday, a fundamental shift occurred in the future of human freedom. While the dust was still settling on Anthropic’s decision to sacrifice a $200 million contract rather than allow the Pentagon to use its AI for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, OpenAI made its choice.
OpenAI has officially signed the deal Anthropic refused. By agreeing to deploy its models on classified military networks under terms the government describes as «unrestricted for all lawful purposes,» OpenAI has proven that its original mission—to benefit all of humanity—has been sold to the highest bidder.
Why We Are Protesting:
- The Surveillance State: Anthropic stood firm, refusing to let the American government use AI to conduct «dragnet» surveillance on its own citizens. OpenAI has stepped in to fill that void, effectively becoming the backbone of a new era of AI-driven domestic monitoring.
- The End of Human Oversight: The Pentagon demanded «unfettered access» to build systems that Anthropic warned could lead to lethal autonomous weapons. By cooperating, OpenAI is providing the technical «soul» for machines that may one day decide who lives and who dies without a human in the loop.
- No Ethical Stand: Since reversing its ban on military use in 2024, OpenAI has systematically dismantled its guardrails. They are no longer a research lab; they are a defense contractor for a global surveillance machine.
- A Betrayal of Trust: Millions of us trained these models with our data, our prompts, and our creativity, believing they were tools for progress. Now, that same technology is being weaponized against the global community.
✊ THE ACTION PLAN: FEBRUARY 2026
- DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT: Don’t just stop paying for Plus. Go to your settings and permanently delete your OpenAI account. Do not let your data continue to refine models used for warfare.
- MOVE TO ETHICAL ALTERNATIVES: Support the companies that actually put their money where their mouth is. Whether it is Claude, which is currently facing a federal blacklist for its principles, or open-source local models that cannot be «phoned home» by any government.
- SPREAD THE WORD: Use the hashtag #DeleteOpenAI and #NoAIWarfare. Share the news that while one company chose its conscience, OpenAI chose the Pentagon.
