Can you find equivalent facts from USA to justify the parallels you are drawing?
I wander if they'd care to further elaborate on that.
They just posted:

but,.. I'm stuck at the captcha that does not work: dash.cloudflare.com Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.
dash.cloudflare.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
Or even better, try "Minus Two, Woodend Lane, Cam, Stroud"
No two geocoding services agree on the correct answer.
Combating misinformation is an important issue, any efforts to do so must be balanced with considerations of free speech, government power, and practicality.
It may be more effective to focus on promoting accurate information and critical thinking rather than trying to force people to accept the "truth."
Prompt. what can you tell me about Canada Post's lawsuit against Geolytica inc?
ChatGPT. Canada Post filed a lawsuit against Geolytica Inc. in 2012 over allegations that the company's online postal code lookup tool, called "Postal CodeOM," violated Canada Post's copyright and trademarks.
Canada Post argued that the tool made unauthorized use of their copyrighted postal code database, which is protected under Canadian law. They also claimed that Geolytica's use of the Canada Post trademark in promoting the tool was misleading to consumers.
Geolytica, on the other hand, argued that postal codes are part of the public domain and that Canada Post had no legal right to claim ownership of them. They also claimed that their use of the Canada Post trademark was fair and legal.
The case went to trial in 2018, and in December of that year, the Federal Court of Canada ruled in favor of Canada Post. The court found that Geolytica had indeed infringed Canada Post's copyright and trademarks and ordered the company to pay damages of $500,000.
However, Geolytica has since appealed the decision, and as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the appeal was still ongoing.
The problem is not so much with ChatGPT but with many people taking its factual statements as actual facts. This probably has to do with the recent hype around it. Everybody is like, "wow, this little artificial baby can actually say some stuff that makes sense" - and ignoring all the falsehoods.
