Deepseek only has censorship on their hosted site... if you run the open source model on your own hardware it doesn't seem to censor
I asked the locally-hosted version about Tienanmen Square and it gave an accurate description, but the wording was a bit sympathetic to the CCP. It was like "according to some people, this is what happened, but the government contests this."
Honestly that's probably just the data it's been trained on, rather than explicit instructions to censor the incident.
Makes sense that a Chinese AI would be trained on more Chinese sources than a western AI.
