Previously:

Are you also going to claim that DeepSeek isn’t censored?

You can download DeepSeek and run it yourself to get uncensored answers.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are not truth machines. They are garbage in, garbage out. The input to English-language models are largely English-language texts from Five Eyes countries, with all the disinformation and bias that that entails. So the DeepSeek company is in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. They can either refuse to answer certain questions, in which case Western media will accuse them of censorship; or they can answer them, in which case (a) their model will perpetuate Cold War I & Cold War II falsehoods and (b) Western media will parade those false answers around in a victory lap. They chose the former for the cloud version of their app, and the latter for the local version.

I'm aware of open weights and yes, it is clearly a server-side block (since the text generation is cut-off). If I'm not wrong it was DeepSeek I tried (long time ago) locally offline and it was willing to talk even about this type of topics.
