But American companies harvesting our data and sending it straight into the hands of the Trump administration and his harem of tech whores like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman are a-okay. I’d rather have China harvest my data, because China doesn’t have as much influence over my life here in Germany as the US does.
Germany is known in Europe for being one of the biggest wh*res of the USA so that doesn’t surprise me more than that.
“Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies,” she added.
And that’s different to American companies how? None of this climate of data harvesting is currently good for us.
Sure, as long as you also remove ChatGPT.
I’m curious whether Deepseek will gaf about this. They’ve been rather uninterested in commercialization, and the app is mainly a way of showing off their model, which itself is released open-weights. In fact, it’s literally impossible to spend money in the app! They sell tokens but it’s API-only, and you can’t spend it in the app.
So it’s entirely possible the Deepseek will shrug, let their app be banned in Germany, and keep doing what they’re doing.
Do chatgpt, claude, gemini, llama, etc keep user data in the EU?
Yes. You’ve heard about billions being invested in new data centers in the EU?
Then there’s also the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework”. People here don’t really understand what the GDPR is about.
Regarding DPF: https://iapp.org/news/a/schrems-addresses-emerging-questions-around-eu-us-data-privacy-framework. It’s unlikely to hold unfortunately.
Sure ;)
Commissioner and his friends use those apps so can’t ban them.
I will say it is fantastic you can run deepseek models locally
Some of the deepseek r1 distills are still the best small models. The 8b ones are good and can run on a lot of devices.
Why not just leave it up to the users? Maybe put a warning?
Why does the government have to ban everything and treat us like children?
Because most people reason like children and act like children.
Had one dude buy a bunch of those none refillable vapes. Ran around with 3 of them and talked about that the government should ban them because people like himself throw them in the woods when done. That is a real person.
Politicians also act like children. There’s no evidence they get their authority from being either smarter or more competent than an average person.
Congratulations, this is how you get exploited by corporations.
