I think the reason it is relevant is because there are a lot of people flocking to the DeepSeek app who don’t know about these things. And discussing this makes it clear that there can be subtle manipulation and propaganda if they rely heavily on this app. TikTok has the same vulnerability since it is also subject to the same power of the CCP, but we saw that millions use it without awareness. There’s a chance to build that awareness now when the censorship is obvious instead of difficult to detect.
