- The company made over 200 law enforcement referrals in Q3 2026 to disrupt violent plots, relying on mental health and behavioral experts to assess difficult cases.
- New policy boundaries restrict detailed information about past mass attacks, including weapons and equipment, for all users regardless of age, while allowing discussions on prevention and victim impact.
- ChatGPT for Teens faces stricter limits on weapons-related information, and the system will automatically end chats and potentially pause accounts if users show signs of fixating on violence or harming others.
