Good post. It's not even about the rights of the LLM or the corporation, but of the people who will be using these tools.

Imagine if the government went to megaphone manufacturers and demanded that the megaphones never amplify words the government doesn't like. "Megaphones don't have rights so this isn't a problem", the smooth brained internet commenters smugly explain, while the citizens who want to use megaphones find their speech through the tool limited by the governments arbitrary and ever changing decrees.

As for the government having a right to regulate tools, would a regulation that modern printing presses recognize and refuse to print offensive content really fly with you defending this? The foremost contemporary tool for amplifying speech, the press is named right in the first ammendment. "Regulating tools" in a way that happens to restrict the way citizens can use that tool for their own speech is bullshit. This is flagrantly unconstitutional.
