“ reasonable/no guardrails = Chinese models..”

So conforming to CCP political discourse and blacklisting discussion of tianemensq or Uyghur is a reasonable thing?

I'm curious what the model provider is using the prompt/response pairs for, in that case. They aren't offering a model for free without their name on it for no reason.
