Weren't these obnoxious safeguards in place from Day 1, before political meddling in the most holy Free Market took place?

I mean, do you let your employees commit crimes when interacting with your customers? Safeguards aren't a binary switch, when models start saying wild shit people tend to get up in arms quickly.
Though at this point the safeguards are making the product useless.
I was objecting more narrowly to the notion that the driving force behind the obnoxious safeguards that are making the product useless was the current admin, rather than having been in there since launch and driven internally.
There are always going to be safeguards. If not, people call you a child pornographer (grok). But you're referring to 'obnoxious' safeguards. Ones that seem excessive, and dumb.
In that context, I'd say probably the current admin is indeed the cause of that. They certainly claim to be. And they used the full power of the federal government along with interventionist policies and, it would seem, a gangster like mentality to punish those they disagree with.
So would it be as obnoxious otherwise? I don't think so. And there would have to be guardrails regardless, or apparently anything the tool is used for is considered what you support and want. So can you imagine a platform with no guardrails?
