Proton's very biased article on Deepseek (lemmy.ml)

Article: https://proton.me/blog/deepseek

Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code[...] on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

They are not wrong here.

After having read the article fully it doesn't seem to be that partial and acknowledge also the failing of others. It is not as stupid as the CEO stance on "Republicans helping the little guys" for sure.

But that's also true for American companies.

As a European, I trust them as much as I trust Chinese ones.

Ho yeah but they are definitely not ignoring that in the article. It's just that they are talking mostly about the subject of the article which is: deepseek

[–] TheDonkerZ@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

The problem with any kind of journalism like this though is that it talks about the topic of the article, sure, but it doesn't acknowledge the other relevant parties that have most of all the same concerns.

It's a matter of framing for the situation. I'd rather read something that talks about both sides instead of just one.

Wait. Protons CEO is conservative?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He's been kissing the ring on social media like the others IIRC

Damn I switched to proton last year and am NOT migrating again.

I thought it was based in the EU. Why does he care about the US at all?
