Addressed already - tl;dr nonsensical (and as a bonus, the reason does not exist in their rule list)

I did upload a screenshot with the link, but I guess it’s inaccessible… Here it is in full resolution

There may be some combination of this and political partisanry going on. This isn’t the only thread where one moderator is suppressing criticism of big tech and big government. I might need to take advantage of that community for recording some stuff, thank you for pointing it out.

I have many negative things to say about AI (and China) but like I stated earlier, this is in no way unique to DeepSeek.

Hmm. FOSStodon team:

The moderators are the unsung heroes of Fosstodon. They’re the people who work every single report we receive, and take appropriate action to keep Fosstodon a friendly and inclusive place for all our members.

Many accusations of astroturfing but no evidence. I thought it was obvious.

Moderator accused the OP of “obvious astroturfing.”

r/privacy moderators also censored this post with the same reason:

IRS nears deal with ICE to share addresses of SUSpected undocumented immigrants

Really makes you think.

Note, it seems you are not allowed in this reddit to express an opinion containing doubt about the security of WhatsApp - it will be removed by mods. As such, you can not read the replies here and form a judgement about what the consensus is.

Or, you know, obvious astroturfing as an excuse to promote alternatives is against the rules.

OP’s post history is illuminating.

On this particular article, “DeepSeek can be used to create malware” is unsurprising. Know what else can be used to create malware? Microsoft Visual Studio. Too complicated? Forums on the internet. Sam Altman’s OpenAI, which they allege was used to train DeepSeek.

This isn’t a breach. Nothing is getting breached here. A more honest title might be “I can use DeepSeek to help me code malware!” but this is not surprising, novel or unique to DeepSeek. See: OpenAI above. Also see: all the ways people have gotten OpenAI to simply tell them how to commit crimes with the right phrasing.

Between the papers, the source code, and the fully downloadable models that punch well above their weight class, it’s the closest thing to actual open-source AI we’ve seen so far.

I would say the models don’t really count as open source, but Facebook and OpenAI made their own perverted definition of “open-source” so while this technically meets that standard, I mostly impressed that it exceeds it.

Vijil is some shitty AI auditing startup that appears to have only “reviewed” this one product.

So when it says Deepseek is bad, the answer to “compared to what?” is “lol, idk, hopefully not the things my customers want to use.”

And when it says Deepseek isn’t private, it has absolutely nothing to do with a fully offline model, but just the responses to some of its synthetic tests.

These benchmarks are, effectively, useless.

You can always sign up for the default matrix server and try it out there.

Personally, I think the video and screen sharing runs slow and janky, but it might be the closest thing to Teams or Slack especially if everyone is on the same network.

As far as I know, there are zero parents who signed a counter petition.

I’ve never heard of this organization before, but a quick look at their page demonstrates they aren’t just some American or European exceptionalist group. Which is good, because privacy and authoritarianism are two diametrically opposed ideologies that cut across nationality.

You might find this interesting. As I understand it, quantum computers aren’t a threat to encryption yet, but cryptographers are already searching for solutions to potential impending issues.

I blame 4chan’s constant harassment of the man for his speech and early death. They invaded his live streams and gaslit him into believing, among other things, that he was in a relationship with someone else. Collectively, I think they’re responsible for his suicide.
