Genuine question; what’s the difference between DeepSeek gathering data and for example ChatGPT or Gemini?
Three of them are (I assume) great for usage but disastrous regard privacy and data.
chatgpt and gemini gather data for the US govt, which is the one actively fucking europe over at the moment. so clearly, deepseek is what they need to worry about.
Yes but you see a white man having control of your data is much better than a colored one!
This is so pathetic now. US companies does " pretend" to storage data in Europe, then, 4 years later a couple of them are found out they did not (others did too but were not found to doing so) and an investigation and lawsuit is brought up and 6 years later found guilty and penalized a maximum of 10% of profits for that year (so effectively 1% profit/yr cost of business). Profits brought by the breach of European safeguards… tens times more than the potential penalties. Any CEO has to, by law, give the maximum profits to their investors, and they are just doing that.
But of course, the EU just won’t do that litigation dance with the Chinese companies, the EU knows well it is just a scam to pretend doing something to protect europeans… to Chinese companies, because US does not like, the EU just ban them. The EU will never ban a US company, no matter how many violations they do.
There are differences which prove that GDPR is far from perfect, but lightyears better from what the US permits.
Eg. M$ US
vs M$ EU (Germany)
Oh for sure! No doubt, at least makes people conscious of that. Now, the larger companies don’t have any problem bypassing the EU law and the incentives are mainly untouched for them to change.
This is not protecting peoples privacy but straight censorship. Just like how US wanted to ban TikTok.
US want to ban TikTok, because it’s a Chinese company, it has nothing to do with privacy, while in the EU a service must fullfit the GDPR to be allowed to offer their service in the EU and DeepSeek, among others, don’t. This has a lot to do with the privacy rights in the EU, those which in the USA don’t exist, not with censorship. Privacy is a basic right in the EU and not even the Police can access sensible personal data or track your activity without an court order, less aprivate company for advertising reasons or for training their AIs. But yes, right wing politicians in Germany want to change this, but this isn’t so easy in a working Democracy where it need to be approved with a majorit in th Bundestag.
