Geo-Blocking Woes: ChatGPT Shut Out of Italy

Plus the rest of this week's digital news! [image]( Hi {NAME}, This week OpenAI had to make some changes to ChatGPT in Italy. But it's not for the reasons you might assume. The move follows an order by the local data protection authority that it must stop processing Italians’ data for the ChatGPT service. So this is about the data and privacy concerns, and not about the ethical concerns of using AI. Interesting. But as it sounds, a simple VPN is an easy way to circumvent the block in Italy.
