They've started already, I've seen posts on LinkedIn implying or outright stating that DeepSeek is a national security risk (IMHO, LinkedIn being the social media outlet most corporate-sycophantic). I went ahead and just picked this one at random from my feed.

Oh this post...calling out DeepSeek's T&C but not comparing it with OpenAI's is really disingenuous IMO.

Seen the same with censorship. Deepseek is a CCP pamphlet apparently, but rarely is it compared to OpenAI in the same breath.

NBC Nightly News, on Monday, had an expert -- at 8:05 in the video -- who claimed there might be national security risks to Deepseek.

I'm not going to take a side on whether there is or not.

But, it does sound reminiscent of the reasons used to ban Tik-tok.

Next they will say it is to protect the children and that terrorists use it. You start to recognize the playbook after about the millionth time.

At least this guy can differentiate between running your own model and using the web/mobile app where DeepSeek process your data. I've watched a TV show yesterday (I think it was France24) where the "experts" can't really tell the difference or are not aware of it. Shut down the TV and went to sleep.
