    This article is about the app, which does not run the model locally. Why would you doubt that a Chinese app which openly claims they send your data to China, actually does so?

      It seems like a smear piece because it makes it sound like DeepSeek is doing something that the others aren’t, while the truth is that ever single on of them collects your data.

      At best, it’s disingenuous. At worst, with the ability to run locally, it’s a blatant lie.

        What would you have preferred? “Most apps sell your data, news at 11”? Would anyone care if it was written like that?

          Ah yes, selling your integrity for clicks and pushing propaganda for cash, welcome to the information age.

            I think you’re incorrectly assuming that everyone knows they all do it. I see nothing wrong with raising awareness.
