Sudden large-scale account bans, ChatGPT responds

On November 8, multiple technology communities collectively exposed that OpenAI suddenly launched a large-scale account ban incident. A large number of users reported on Reddit and domestic developer communities that their ChatGPT accounts were suspended without warning, including Pro users who pay a monthly subscription fee of 200 US dollars. Some users said they did not receive any notice before their accounts were banned, and their long-accumulated chat records and work materials became inaccessible as a result.

Some netizens speculate that this is OpenAI's move to prevent users from exploiting benefits, and it has begun to limit the maximum number of accounts on the same device. Industry insiders said that this move by OpenAI is by no means sudden. Previously, it launched reverse proxy, and merged ChatGPT and Codex into one token pool. A few days ago, it quietly locked the upper limit of paid accounts for a single device, and also released an official document titled *Understanding ChatGPT Payment Card and Device Limits*, which brought all tiers including Go, Plus, Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 under rigid quota control.

In response, the OpenAI Support account responded that since the appeal involves specific account information, it cannot be processed on public community forums. Users should submit appeals through the link in the account ban notification email; if they do not receive the email, they can contact customer service via the official appeal form or the Help Center. This response did not explain the specific reason why users' accounts were banned. (Yicai Global)

Priority Checkout for Cigarette Purchasers? Snack Youming Responds

Recently, some netizens posted on social platforms that a store of Snack Youming put up a notice stating "Cigarette buyers enjoy priority checkout", which also marked "Genuine cigarettes guaranteed, 100 times compensation for any fake one". This news quickly spread across the internet and triggered massive complaints from netizens. Some consumers left messages in the comment area, "I have only heard of priority access for military personnel and emergency treatment, and this is the first time I see priority for cigarette buyers". Others said, "If everyone is waiting in line but someone gets priority directly, no one will feel comfortable with it". It is widely acknowledged that merchants can set up fast lanes, but they cannot take purchasing cigarettes as the threshold for enjoying priority services. This differential treatment itself is very likely to convey a guidance that runs counter to tobacco control.

On November 9, Jiemian News contacted the customer service of Snack Youming to verify whether the above notice is a unified rule of the brand. The customer service representative told the reporter from Jiemian News that "the company has not issued relevant documents so far, and this is not a regulation applicable to all stores across the brand". The customer service also noted that selling cigarettes has clear qualification requirements: stores must obtain the Tobacco Monopoly Retail License first before carrying out cigarette retail business. Stores need to purchase cigarette supplies from local tobacco companies, and the procurement chain does not go through the brand headquarters. Nevertheless, the brand party has corresponding intervention and management authority over its franchised stores. In response to the controversial notice mentioned above, the customer service stated that they will transfer the relevant clues to the corresponding supervision department for verification and handling.
