I’m more interested in things that might be a first amendment violation in the US. For example, if the US government suppressed discussion of the Kent State massacre that would be similar to the Tiananmen Square filters.

Private companies tuning their models for commercial reasons isn't that interesting.

Why is it not that interesting? Especially when you see big tech align themselves with whomever is in power at the time?

To me as a non American, it’s an absolute cope to argue that its okay when its not due to law when the effect is the same.

It’s like someone in China arguing the censorship isn’t interesting because you and download the non-guardrailed weights.

Both absolutely post-hoc justifications why one type of censorship is better than the other.

		I see a huge difference between a bookstore choosing to not stock 1984 by George Orwell and the government prohibiting that book from being sold by anybody or openly discussed. Neither situation is good, but one is way, way worse than the other.
