This make the news only because it’s going to chinese servers. Didn’t see anything like that about ChatGPT or the one made by Google.

as opposed to OpenAI which also stores keystrokes and then sells them to anyone who’d pay?

This is Whataboutism and you are clearly a Wumao agent sent here to destroy democracy.

I don’t need to… Muricans took care of destroying democracy all on their own

We were doing a perfectly adequate job of that on our own

When I read DeepSeek’s privacy policy, I was creeped out by the invasiveness of the keystrokes thing. Then I realised that ChatGPT is just as creepy, but less upfront about it, and DeepSeek’s relative transparencyn caused me to see them in a more favourable light

Like every app you have doesn’t collect keystrokes data?

They should store the data in US servers like OpenAI does. Apparently then Mashable won’t write an article about it.

The criticism thrown at DeepSeek in the past days is just as applicable to American AI models. But when that was brought up it in the past it was “making things political”.

At least I can run DeepSeek locally.
