Did you even read the article? It's about the backend of deepseek.com being completely unprotected to the point where all the prompts users typed in are being exposed to the public. The fact that these people are supposed to be competent leads most to believe this is a backend for the CCP to spy on users. Competent or not, I would not use that system for anything. If anything, one might host it locally and use it in that way. Regardless, deepseek.com has serious security issues.
- sho_hn 2y agoI'm wary of engaging in false equivalence, but people seem to have really forgotten the revelations of the Snowden episode.
- khazhoux 2y agowhich was what?
- tasty_freeze 2y agoIf you rat out the government doing unconstitutional things, you lose your citizenship.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoDid Snowden lose his citizenship? No. The US cannot revoke his citizenship per its laws. He fled to Russia and took an oath of citizenship there in 2022. But he didn’t renounce his US citizenship either.
- TeaBrain 2y agoWhat the above user is thinking of is how Snowden's passport validity was reportedly revoked in 2013, right after he had landed in Moscow.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoYea that might be it. But that doesn't strike me as unusual either. There are many situations where a criminal charged with a lot less has to surrender documents as a condition of being allowed out on bail while they await trial, if they're considered a flight risk. In Snowden's case, he knew he was going to face a lengthy criminal process and would be detained, so he (perhaps correctly) chose to leave before he made his revelations and before his movement was restricted.

- lurking_swe 2y agoit’s a FREE LLM chat interface, that doesn’t require you to enter your real name or credit card information. Who cares? It’s not a government website or a tax software application. Obviously i am disappointed regarding this, but people really blow this out of proportion imo. Rumor is this was a side project for some employees at a hedge fund. you think they specialize in security and software application best practices? i’m not exactly surprised that it’s insecure. The really crazy thing is that anyone gives ANY company sensitive data to train on. regardless of which country the service is running in. That’s what’s actually crazy.
- mmaunder 2y agoYes. :-) And I commented below, earlier this evening. Scroll down and we can argue about whether what they did is legal or not.
