Character.AI faces user exodus amid age restrictions and lawsuits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Character.AI is experiencing a decline in users due to its decision to restrict access for users under 18, implementing age verification through ML models and third-party services. This move follows legal actions related to the deaths of two teenagers, with lawsuits alleging the platform intentionally targets children. While Character.AI faces scrutiny, alternative AI chat services like JanitorAI and CrushOn.AI also present significant risks, particularly concerning data privacy and content usage policies, often lacking independent audits or robust age verification.
