> practically nobody actually uses LLMs to criticize political entity XYZ

It's literally being used for opposition research in, to my direct knowledge, America, Norway, Italy, Germany, Poland, India and Australia.



That's a very niche use case compared to the majority. Also, opposition research has got nothing to do with "I asked about [political event] and it refused to answer" kind of complaint. Opposition researchers don't ask LLMs about Tiananmen or whatever. The latter kind of queries are still just testing censorship boundaries as a form of virtue signaling or ideological theater, to make some rhetorical point that's completely decoupled from the vast majority of practical use cases.
