On April 1, 2025, the account of hacker Pliny was banned by OpenAI for alleged ‘violent activity.’ His followers initially thought it was an elaborate joke, but it led to significant debate on content moderation in AI.
Later that day, OpenAI restored Pliny’s account, admitting the ban was incorrect. Pliny, known for developing jailbreaks that circumvent AI content restrictions, continues to raise questions about the balance between safety and free expression.
