I see the opposite—a few small steps from banning DeepSeek in the U.S. outright.

Could a Great Firewall of the U.S. be far behind?

I'll be pulling down models today…

Such short memories.

Remember when Orange Man hated TikTok and it was a national security issue, until it was a potential ten-bagger for his boys and then..

With allegations that are ridiculous given that everything is open source. If you are afraid of data exfiltration, just create a better sandbox.

>> Great Firewall of the U.S.

Oh how they have tried. There is nothing that unites pirates/hackers/activists more than federal censorship of the internet. PROTECT IP/COICA came and went decades ago. There was the SOPA/PIPA Blackout protests. But this time the government censors wont be fighting kids. The kids have grown up. They are now adults in their 30s/40s with access to resources. Any attempt an an American great firewall is doomed.
