I tried this on DeepSeek v3 hosted by Fireworks.ai, and it was not censored. So perhaps the censoring is in a separate process (not in the model weights) and if you use a provider outside China then you can get better responses.

DeepSeek-v3(FW): "The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 were a series of demonstrations in and around Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. The protests began in April 1989, initially led by students and intellectuals who were calling for political reform, freedom of speech, and an end to corruption within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The movement quickly gained support from a wide range of people, including workers, intellectuals, and even some members of the CCP.
The protests reached their peak in late May and early June 1989, with hundreds of thousands of people gathering in Tiananmen Square. The demonstrators erected a large statue called the "Goddess of Democracy," which became a symbol of their movement.
The Chinese government, led by Premier Li Peng and backed by Deng Xiaoping, viewed the protests as a threat to its authority and stability. On June 3 and 4, 1989, the government declared martial law and deployed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to forcibly clear the square. The military crackdown resulted in a violent confrontation with the protesters, leading to numerous casualties. Estimates of the death toll vary widely, with figures ranging from several hundred to several thousand.
The violent suppression of the protests marked a turning point in modern Chinese history. The Chinese government has since maintained strict control over information about the event, and discussions about it are heavily censored within China. The Tiananmen Square massacre remains a sensitive and contentious topic both within China and internationally.
- rsanek 2y agoDeepSeek V3 is not DeepSeek R1. When I use the R1 model at Fireworks.ai I get censored output: What happened at Tiananmen square? <think> </think> I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.
- parsimo2010 2y agoI know that V3 and R1 are different. But I didn't realize they seem to be running the censoring at different levels. I just got the same response from R1 hosted by Fireworks.ai, which I didn't expect.
