GET https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes.json?limit=10000&closed=7&bbox=4.21875,50.73645513701065,4.5703125,50.95842672335991

How to reproduce the issue?

Query for https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes.json?limit=10000&closed=7&bbox=4.21875,50.73645513701065,4.5703125,50.95842672335991 via the browser. This will include note with URL: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4541086 and content:

{
"id":4541086,
"url":"https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/4541086.json",
"comment_url":"https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/4541086/comment.json",
"close_url":"https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/4541086/close.json",
"date_created":"2024-12-02 15:45:33 UTC",
"status":"open",
"comments":[]}}

Very noticeable is that comments is an empty list. In normal circumstances, these should contain at least the first comment of the user whom opened the note.

I suspect that this comment got redacted because of spam or personal data.

Also note that visiting the URL of the note (as linked above) results in an error page.

My request is to not include these rogue notes in this endpoint. I'm currently filtering them out client side.
