Claude's safety classifier blocks SS7 defense research, pushing a security dev to an abliterated GLM

l4rz · x · 2026-10-26

Developer l4rz reports that Claude refuses to build an SS7 anomaly detector or even summarize attacks documented in GSMA FS.07/FS.11/FS.21 — both legitimate defensive telecom-security tasks — tripping "stopped by safety classifier." It also declined a simple SMS-fraud detector. Following the principle that "the network perceives censorship as damage and routes around it," he moved to an abliterated (uncensored) GLM running on two Spark GPUs to get the work done. The episode highlights how over-cautious safety classifiers push defensive security practitioners toward unaligned open-source models.
