A note on the Tusk App expressed frustration over OpenAI’s move. Tusk App also accused OpenAI of restricting free speech by enforcing their own requirements on what can be said.
Tusk App insisted that it did not violate policies on coordinated inauthentic behavior and deceptive activity. They further argued that Gippr AI was only expressing conservative values.
