ME News Report, May 15 (UTC+8), according to Beating Monitoring, California user Amargo Couture filed a class action lawsuit against OpenAI Global, LLC, accusing ChatGPT.com of transmitting question topics and identity recognition information to Meta and Google via Meta Pixel and Google Analytics after users input questions. The complaint states that these transmissions occurred without user knowledge or consent, allegedly violating the ECPA, CIPA, and California privacy laws. The core focus of the plaintiff is on webpage tracking codes. What users ask, how the page title changes, and whether Meta and Google can match cookies to real accounts have become the main disputes in this lawsuit. The complaint cites an example where, after a user inputs "Who won the 2005 Super Bowl" in ChatGPT, the page title changes to "Super Bowl 2005 Winner," which is then sent along with tracking requests from Meta Pixel and Google Analytics. The complaint further states that Meta may receive the page title and Facebook recognition cookies, while Google may receive the page title, hashed email, and account-related cookies. The plaintiff believes this information is sufficient for third parties to link ChatGPT query topics with specific users. The case is still in the filing stage; the statements are allegations by the plaintiff, and the court has not yet made a factual determination. (Source: BlockBeats)

If OpenAI's move is confirmed, the privacy compliance team will probably have to work overtime overnight.

Can page title changes be tracked? The technical details are quite fine-grained.

Lack of consent is the key point; will GDPR also follow up on this?
