Obviously, not all bots will be held to such standards - these are the standards which apply to western corporations who offer free bots for PR and marketing purposes, since 'politically incorrect' behavior stunts that goal, however, anyone keeping their own bot (e.g. a spammer wanting to solve millions of captchas) has no problems running an 'uncensored' bot - right now you can get reasonably large open source models without the RLHF pretraining and thus also no attempt at 'moral standards' other than those you choose to put in when finetuning the bot for your purposes.
It's relatively trivial to flip the sign on that training data and have a bot that will instead refuse to make antifascist or feminist arguments; if someone wants a Hitlerbot to ghostwrite "My struggle" for them, there's nothing that could prevent them from finetuning such a model from one of the publicly available models; there is no one that can enforce any 'moral standards' on the bots other than their creators.
