Is there law in U.S. that made OpenAI implement this in their TOS ?

    (i) Export Controls. The Services may not be used in or for the benefit of, exported, or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries (collectively, the “Embargoed Countries”) or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, any other restricted party lists (existing now or in the future) identified by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List, or any other restricted party lists (collectively, “Restricted Party Lists”). You represent and warrant that you are not located in any Embargoed Countries and not on any such restricted party lists. You must comply with all applicable laws related to Embargoed Countries or Restricted Party Lists, including any requirements or obligations to know your end users directly.

Yes, that is why they are called "Embargoed Countries".

That applies to every corp in the US; I suspect they call out in TOS specifically so that they can hand out bans linking their own TOS directly.


Perhaps they just asked GPT to generate some TOS for them, and that sort of thing is kinda expected...


this is common federal level thing.
