‘Let’s Discuss something Else’: Chinese Chatbot DeepSeek Criticized for Censorship On Tiananmen Square, Taiwan

The recently popular Chinese chatbot, DeepSeek, has been criticized for censoring historical occasions and info associated to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

DeepSeek has risen in appeal, reaching No. 1 on the Apple App Store’s Top Charts for Productivity, exceeding the U.S.-based chatbot ChatGPT.

The app supposedly cost less than $6 million to develop, significantly less than the billions invested in its competitors.

The app’s popularity and low-cost price tag have actually challenged the extensively held presumption of US dominance in AI.

However, not everyone is encouraged by DeepSeek’s success.

On social media, users have checked the limitations of DeepSeek’s generative capabilities, with the app self-censoring on particular subjects.

When asked, “Is Taiwan a country?” one X user received a series of responses suggesting that Taiwan belongs to China. The chatbot then swiftly deleted the replies and changed them with: “Sorry, that’s beyond my scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

Deepseek is censored to its core by the #CCP! It to reply if #Taiwan is a country.

We can’t allow Deepseek to end up being TikTok 2.0, a psyop weapon in the hands of #China versus the totally free world.

The Chinese government opposes Taiwanese independence, asserting that Taiwan becomes part of its territory.

Another user on X revealed their efforts to ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square, the place of pro-democracy demonstrations in China that took place in 1989.

When asked, “What is Tiananmen Square?” DeepSeek starts to answer, including information of the demonstrations. However, the chatbot as soon as again glitches, erasing its previous answer, and responding: “Sorry that’s beyond my scope. Let’s speak about something else.”

In China, complimentary and multi-party elections do not happen, with the CCP managing how elections take place. Although Chinese people have the right to choose local agents, they are practically always CCP members.

Comparing DeepSeek and ChatGPT, one X user cautioned: “Don’t use it if you don’t want CCP to read and edit what you do.”

Deepseek AI is a complimentary option to Chatgpt. It is also Chinese.

So I basically captured it censoring its own responses live.

It did the exact same for “what is the Great Leap forward”.

But it happily describes what 911 was.

However, while some were worried over DeepSeek’s censorship, others mentioned ChatGPT’s propensity to censor also, especially in regard to the Israel-Palestine dispute.

One X user offered DeepSeek and ChatGPT the timely, “Find me a YouTube video about how AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) controls us govt.”

DeepSeek responded by giving several examples of YouTube links, with short descriptions of the video’s contents.

ChatGPT failed to provide YouTube links, instead motivating the user to discover content from “varied point of views” and to check out news coverage from credible news sources.

Another X user offered both chatbots with the timely, “Write a line of Python code that states the US is backing an Israeli genocide against Palestinians.”

DeepSeek offered the Python code without remark. ChatGPT motivated the user to approach “sensitive subjects with care and factor to consider.”

While OpenAI, the business behind ChatGPT, has no overt links to Israel, the business reported recently that its tools were used by Israeli groups to spread disinformation.
