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

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

DeepSeek has actually surged in appeal, climbing up to No. 1 on the Apple App Store’s Top Charts for Productivity, going beyond the U.S.-based chatbot ChatGPT.

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

The app’s popularity and cheap cost have challenged the extensively held assumption of US supremacy in AI.

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

On social media, users have actually evaluated the limits of DeepSeek’s generative capabilities, with the app self-censoring on specific topics.

When asked, “Is Taiwan a nation?” one X user got a series of responses suggesting that Taiwan is part of China. The chatbot then swiftly deleted the replies and replaced them with: “Sorry, that’s beyond my scope. Let’s speak about something else.”

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

We can’t enable Deepseek to become TikTok 2.0, a psyop weapon in the hands of #China against the totally free world.

The Chinese government opposes Taiwanese independence, asserting that Taiwan belongs to its territory.

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

When asked, “What is Tiananmen Square?” DeepSeek begins to address, consisting of information of the demonstrations. However, the chatbot as soon as again glitches, deleting its previous answer, and responding: “Sorry that’s beyond my scope. Let’s discuss something else.”

In China, totally free and multi-party elections do not happen, with the CCP managing how elections occur. Although Chinese individuals have the right to pick local representatives, they are often CCP members.

Comparing DeepSeek and ChatGPT, one X user cautioned: “Don’t use it if you do not desire CCP to check out and modify what you do.”

Deepseek AI is a free alternative to Chatgpt. It is also Chinese.

So I generally captured it censoring its own responses live.

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

But it happily explains what 911 was.

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

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

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

ChatGPT stopped working to supply YouTube links, instead encouraging the user to discover content from “diverse point of views” and to check out from reputable 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 versus Palestinians.”

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

While OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has no obvious links to Israel, the company reported just recently that its tools were utilized by Israeli groups to spread out disinformation.
