But while DeepSeek’s R1 is intelligent enough to match the best models built by US tech firms, it is also intelligent enough to know not to upset the Chinese Communist Party. Typically this censorship does not extend beyond China’s borders, but the sudden popularity of Chinese apps like DeepSeek puts other web users at risk of Chinese censorship and disinformation. “Having tested many models and applications that go to great lengths to censor certain topics, it’s clear that DeepSeek implemented CCP censorship in a crude, blunt-force way. “The model is heavily intertwined with the CCP, which means any data process through DeepSeek Cloud risks being syphoned for the CCP’s own gain,” Emin Can Turan, the chief executive and lead researcher at the UK-based AI platform Pebbles Ai, told The Independent.
