I'm not very caught up on the specifics but I do think it's funny that the same people who chortle about Tiananmen and Chinese censorship on DeepSeek have nothing to say about the results you get from Gemini or ChatGPT if you ask about American politics (elections/politicians) or misbehavior (Gaza/Israel/Palestine) or even ask them to write something violent or sexual...
No, we're "chortling" about both. You just wont see people discussing US censorship in a thread about CCP censorship, unless some asshat brings up a what-aboutism.
I think that both topics are on point. It is about IA programmed censorship, after all.
People who complain about "whataboutism" usually dislike direct comparisons.
