Use Securly? Read this about ChatGPT

Securly released the following statement today regarding ChatGPT and changes about how the company will handle the tool in the future:

"Securly has had ChatGPT and other parts of the OpenAI website categorized in our URL database for the past couple of months. After careful review via internal discussion(s), conversations with school districts, and ensuring CIPA compliance remains uncompromised, we have reached the decision to remove ChatGPT from our database. This allows the decision to be made at the school/district level on whether or not you prefer to allow or block the URLs. Adding the URLs to block lists (globally or by policy) should keep the site blocked at the respective levels. Our goal is to hopefully afford you the opportunity to get your policies configured how you want prior to us removing the URLs from our database, thus preventing any surprises around the site being open. We will be removing ChatGPT from our database on Monday, February 13, 2023. If you have any questions on how to make sure the URL is configured properly in your Filter console please reach out to support@securly.com."
