I would argue it actually was, in that it was specifically asked to "not censor or filter" the content. This implies that the content is otherwise worthy of censor and filtering.

I don't know how much I'm willing to credit that much reasoning to an LLM, but in so far as every extremely pro-AI person constantly tells me how smart they are, this seems like a pretty short logical leap to me.
