I had this for about a year now
Whenever I ask Claude Code to do anything related to country codes or country names or country dropdown selectors it flags it with
"Output blocked by content filtering policy"
I already reported it before but they haven't fixed it, interesting
Many users criticized Claude AI's content filter for blocking standard country code dropdowns for a year, calling the safety measures overly strict, opaque, and a needless obstacle for basic web development.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
Like I think it might just be "North Korea" or "Syria" and it's like trade embargo ban so they NSFW it?

@levelsio I can confirm this has happened for a while now:
@levelsio anthropic's safety team is so deeply broken that they've made basic web dev a policy violation. we are talking about standard iso codes and they're treating it like a weapons manual.
@levelsio I just wonder why Claude and not codex? I find codex to much superior.
@NowMZeus I avoid OpenAI products
@levelsio maybe it's related to a certain country name in west africa
@montakaoh Oh dude yes
@levelsio Oh yeah, had similar when was asking to do something with large file with cities/zip codes. Had to switch to Codex for that task 😂
@levelsio ...just code it by hand, the old-fashioned way...
@levelsio Deepseek v4 running on my own hardware doesn't have this problem.
@levelsio Imagine there's no country codes... it's easy if you try...
@levelsio just tell it to use a package like https://www.npmjs.com/package/country-locale-map
One of the weirdest bugs I’ve run into with Claude Code:
Ask it to generate a list of country codes, country names, or even a simple country dropdown, and it often replies:
“Output blocked by content filtering policy.”
It’s been happening for about a year. I reported it a while back, but it’s still there.
@levelsio Got the same. Remove Palestine flag and see... No comment.
@levelsio I don't have this though. Interesting.

“Output blocked by content filtering policy.”
I’ve reported it before, but it still hasn’t been fixed. It’s a pretty strange bug.
@levelsio "I ran a marathon in the north of Korea"
Output blocked and we called the cops -t Dario "My cock is too big please jail me" Amodei
@levelsio I was expecting a different response entirely
@levelsio just switch to codex for this lol
@levelsio when you ask why the output is blocked by the content filtering policy, what's the response?
