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

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.

As a queer person I don't really care at this point if China or Russia is tracking me. They aren't the ones who are currently stripping me and others of rights and so many other things.

I don't trust any governments on this front, but the government I live under is way more of a concern.

Russia specifically is a big part of why trump is in power. They weren't the sole contributors, but they definitely helped a lot. And they achieved it by buying, stealing, and collecting data on people and doing targeting misinformation campaign.

That's... Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that's all fine and dandy. But it doesn't change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They're all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I'm not the same person you replied to. I'm in Canada, so I'm weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I'd RATHER give my data to an advisory that won't do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Nothing ever "happened" . Politics is an ongoing process. Putin actively wants the west in disarray and in chaos, China wants it to be weak and submissive. They use the data they buy and gather to achieve that. And if you think Putin has nothing to do with rampant queerphobia, you just ignorant about him

But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it's not human Rights either.
