Why copilot says I'm afraid I can't talk about that topic, sorry about that or something other

I am sick and tired of the nanny state with copilot. If I have the adult, no restriction version of Microsoft turned on, then I should get adult responses. I do research for the entertainment industry. I was writing an article that needed a synopsis for the 1984 rated R movie "Bedroom Eyes". IT'S NOT PORN! It's described as an erotic thriller, very typical of the time. When I asked for a synopsis, Copilot said sure, & started to write it for me. But then, it changed it's mind and said "sorry I can't talk about that." WHAT?! Copilot is so rated G it can't talk about rated R movies from 1984? Are you freaking kidding me? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Also, having to wait an hour and 45 minutes to report a problem is also ridiculous.![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/0eb7d7fd-6c69-465b-929b-8e5d05738a2a?platform=QnA

Hey Viktor!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this on Copilot.

Based on the error message and the screenshot you provided, according to Independent Advisor Sumit D - IA: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsofted...

"Some keywords, are banned to use with Microsoft Copilot thinks they are bad. For example harming, pornographic keywords "

However, if there are no such harmful words included in the screenshot, it would be best to submit feedback regarding this in order for the Copilot development team to properly investigate this case:

Copilot often restricts certain topics due to Microsoft's content policies, which aim to prevent discussions on sensitive, controversial, or potentially harmful subjects. These restrictions can apply to areas like:

• Legal or Financial Advice: Some topics related to money, taxes, or investments may trigger restrictions.
• Sensitive Political or Social Issues: Some controversial discussions may be blocked.
• Hacking, SEO Exploits, or Automation of Certain Tasks: Copilot may flag certain SEO techniques (like automated backlinking) as manipulative.
• Misinformation or Unverified Information: Copilot may avoid discussions on speculative topics.

If you're getting restricted responses, it might be due to one of these reasons. If you tell me exactly what you're asking Copilot, I can try to help you work around the issue in a way that fits ethical and best practices. 😊 window.__oai_logHTML?window.__oai_logHTML():window.__oai_SSR_HTML=window.__oai_SSR_HTML||Date.now();requestAnimationFrame(([removed_js]{window.__oai_logTTI?window.__oai_logTTI():window.__oai_SSR_TTI=window.__oai_SSR_TTI||Date.now()}))
