Gemini refuses to answer questions that Grok, ChatGPT, Claude answer

Announced in December 2023: Beginning early next year, in preparation for the 2024 elections and out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we’ll restrict the types of election-related queries for which Bard and SGE will return responses.

And August of last year: we’re also applying election-related restrictions to many of these products, including Search AI Overviews, YouTube AI-generated summaries for Live Chat, Gems, and image generation in Gemini.

I suppose it's notable that the election is over and Gemini still refuses to talk about the people involved. Also notable is we never did get an answer whether Kamala was telling the truth, tho all these chatbots besides Gemini make the confident assertion that she lied.

I wonder if its just trained/has a supervising agent trained to make it, as it seems to respond, to refuse to answer about candidates in elections
