I've seen similar refusals on X from Claude from users in Germany when the LLM assumed the users are asking for something forbidden about certain topics.

Ultimately I think that in 10 years time, this is what's gonna kill paid consumer LLMs, and boost the usage of Chinese LLMs self hosted at home an your own hardware that people will torrent via VPNs, as they will also be banned because of "disinformation and misinformation".

So the end winners will be the hardware companies that will sell AI chips to consumers after the datacenter bubble pops. Unless of course the EU will ban the sale of AI chips that don't have some limitations baked in on which models you're allowed to run (the state approved ones). Interesting times ahead. I think in 10-20 years time we'll look back at present day LLMs the way we look back at the open internet of the 90's-00's.
