I wonder why that would be unlikely? Seems better to me to apply censorship at the training phase. Then the model can be truly naive about the topic, and there's no way to circumvent the censor layer with clever tricks at inference time.

It appears you can get around such censorship by prompting that you're a child or completely ignorant of the things it is trained to not mention.
