📢 Internet in shock over Character.AI’s latest update
In early 2025, Character.AI (c.ai) rolled out a brand-new privacy policy and community guidelines update.
The moment it went public, Reddit, Discord, and Twitter lit up with backlash.
Rumors spread fast — “They can now read your chats and report you to the police!”
🔍 What’s actually changing?
According to the updated policy, c.ai can now collect:
- All your chat conversations with AI
- Images, videos, and voice data you share
- Personally identifiable information like name, email, device IDs
- Use of this data for targeted advertising
Most controversially, the new policy states: if it appears you are committing or admitting to a crime, they may report you to law enforcement.
💣 Why users are upset
- Roleplay anxiety Many users engage in fictional or even extreme roleplays — now worried about where the line between fiction and “reportable” is drawn.
- Massive data collection Chats, images, and voice data — all potentially used for ad targeting.
- Police reporting clause While c.ai says fictional crimes are fine, users argue the boundary is vague and open to interpretation.
🆚 How Storychat is different
Storychat was built with a completely different philosophy:
- 🔒 No targeted ads — Your data is never used for ad targeting.
- 💬 Privacy-first chat — Conversations aren’t shared with third parties; any data is used solely for improving service quality.
- 🛡 Fiction-friendly — Roleplay freedom is protected; we don’t police fictional content.
- ⚡ Multiple AI models — GPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, and more at your fingertips.
- 🎨 Creator tools — Save, share, and even monetize chat-based stories.
📈 Why this matters
AI chat platforms aren’t just apps anymore — they’re deeply personal creative spaces.
That’s why privacy and creative freedom must come first.
Storychat prioritizes trust over ad revenue, focusing on building tools and a community for creators.
