Seems if you put just about any real person, even notable public figures, it pops up as a violation of the content policy, even though their policy doesn't say that explicitly. Perhaps it falls under "Deception, disinformation, and inauthentic activity" or their vague catchall "We prohibit the use of Image Creator for any other activity that significantly harms other individuals, organizations, or society"

I can squint and see why they wouldn't want my "Cowboy Al Gore rolls coal at a tractor pull" but I don't see how "Joe Bidden inauguration but wearing an orange suit" is going to bring down society. It shot me down for "angela merkel toasting beer glasses" despite her doing that all the time.

If you go historical it doesn't seem to mind:

JFK as an alien: https://www.bing.com/images/create/jfk-we-choose-to-go-to-th...

JFK and Fidel Castro at a fictional peace conference: https://www.bing.com/images/create/jfk-and-castro-meeting-at...

If you go too historical, it minds again. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37651874

Also just tried "Julius Caesar eating a salad" and it's still banned it appears.
