Keep a close eye on abliterated and "heretic" open weight models. They will be outlawed first.
It is not feasible. They never made much of an inroad against torrents and that is a much easier target than abliterated models. As the linked website shows; the process to abliterate a model can be as simple aspip install -U heretic-llm && heretic Qwen/Qwen3.5-4Blet alone people just putting the weights up in a torrent. All assuming that someone even tried to ban abliterated models.
The torrents you are talking about are outlawed. Whether enforcement is working or not is another issue.
