I admire your optimism but the simple fact is, you have a person in power that can be easily bribed and you have VERY rich people that stand to lose a lot.

DeepSeek v3 is something I would actually install a VPN for, to get access to it, if it becomes an issue in Canada. It truly is on par with Sonnet and cost 15 times less.

My hope is, people will start to use DeepSeek v3 to do what DeepSeek is accused of having done and by the time things make it to court, it would be too late as there would be no way to say where any of the data came from.
