OpenAI board member, CEO of Quora (Poe.com), Adam D'Angelo, has been selling export banned API access of ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude to banned countries like HongKong.

Poe used to be ranked at #2 at HongKong app store and they recently launched the API service for HongKong users.

It is interesting that OpenAI/Anthropic allows Poe.com reselling banned services to this region.
