ChatGPT is a popular chatbot platform that has been gaining traction in recent years.
It is used by people all over the world to have conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. However, the platform is not available in China due to geo-locking.
Despite the geo-lock, Chinese users have found ways to access ChatGPT, such as using virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass the block. However, Chinese regulators are now taking steps to prevent access to the platform.
The Chinese government has been cracking down on online content, including social media platforms, in recent years. In 2020, the government issued a directive to local social media platforms to prevent access to ChatGPT. The directive stated that the platform “violates China’s laws and regulations” and that it should be blocked.
The directive also stated that any user found to be using the platform should be reported to the authorities. This has led to many Chinese users being wary of using the platform, as they fear being reported and potentially facing legal action.
In addition to the directive, the Chinese government has also been actively blocking VPNs in an effort to prevent access to ChatGPT. This has made it increasingly difficult for Chinese users to access the platform, as they are unable to use VPNs to bypass the geo-lock.
Overall, ChatGPT is currently unavailable in China due to geo-locking and the Chinese government’s efforts to prevent access to the platform. Chinese users have been able to access the platform in the past by using VPNs, but this is becoming increasingly difficult due to the government’s crackdown on VPNs. As a result, it appears that ChatGPT is effectively banned in China.
