The discovery by cybersecurity firm Feroot points to a concerning data pipeline that enables DeepSeek AI to transmit data directly to China Mobile servers. This revelation raises alarms about potential data privacy violations and influence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, commentators criticize the report for lacking technical details and for being perceived as unoriginal or obvious, suggesting similar behavior could be observed in other tech environments, such as a U.S.-based equivalent of DeepSeek.
