This is incorrect. This only applies if not hosted locally. I host it myself it has none of these restrictions. If you're using it from their app or website it's hosted in China and must follow Chinese law.
This is literally what I've just said...
It also changes responses on the fly to fit with Chinese law. You called what Is aid wrong, and then immediately exactly reiterated what I've said...
Why? What do you get out of it?
I suppose if that line is a catch-all, sure. Your message didn't make it clear that self-hosting removes Chinese bias and censorship. This is an important bit of information for OPs question, and what I get out of it is a valid and important addition to the conversation. I genuinely don't know why you're defensive. Being incorrect, or I suppose in this case, lacking nuance, isn't a character flaw. I do it all the time.
Why would I have to include that? OP asked if DeepSeek can be trusted. DeepSeek is the online cat interface--which is what OP was referring to. If they meant the model specifically they would have (or should have) referenced the model specifically which is
DeepSeek-ChatorDeepSeek-Reasoner / DeepSeek-R1. If they did mean the model itself, then that's their error. Not mine. Specificity is important.I think you're assuming far too much of someone asking beginner questions, and you come off as a bit pretentious for it.
