In this case, I believe the screenshot is depicting DeepSeek (made by China, which vehemently denies the massacre at Tiananmen square) as whitewashing history.
China's official narrative doesn't deny that something happened on that date.
They paint it as the protestors' fault. They say that the army broke up a dangerous riot.
I wonder if the censoring is on the open source self hosted model? The app runs Deepseek on Chinese servers so it makes sense that it would have censoring there, but what about on the actual offline model you can download?
It’s my understanding that the open source deepseek does not include the data and you’d have to feed it your own data.
Give it another 60 or so years. It took the US Justice Department over 100 years to "Review and Evaluate" the Tulsa massacre.
