Two things. First, the judge could have issued a narrowly tailored order — say, requiring OpenAI to preserve only those chats that a filter flags as containing substantial amounts of paywalled content from the plaintiffs. That would’ve targeted the alleged harm without jeopardizing the safety of massive amounts of unrelated user data. Second, we’re going to need technology that can simply defy government orders, as digital technology expands the ability of one government order violating rights at scale. Otherwise, one judge — whether in the U.S., China, or India — can impose a sweeping decision that undermines the privacy and autonomy of billions.
