Because OpenAI and Anthropic are so virtuous and trustworthy?
"Anthropic/OpenAI bad!" cynicism is not a replacement for critical thinking (as it increasingly seems to be on HN).
Do we? Anthropic made allegations, but have they substantiated them?
DeepSeek could sue for defamation if they are lying. There's a reason they aren't.
Credit card fraud and the illegal data routing is a crime, but that's something the affected customers would need to sue for.
I am so glad we never see stories against Anthropic/OpenAI claiming that! Thankfully we don't even have to search, critical thinking is enough to know that Anthropic/OpenAI are responsible data sovereign and others are not.
Anyways, they can easily be sued by DeepSeek if they are lying.

Critical thinking is not relying on a confirmed bad actor because you think the others maybe could be bad actors.
For others, here's your blog post:

There is a difference between "white-knighting" and pointing out that maybe businesses shouldn't use an API that has been proven to illegally route data elsewhere, resulting in literal state secrets being leaked.
There is nothing wrong with using DeepSeek's models locally or on your own cloud, and using another search provider! But using DeepSeek's own APIs is pure idiocy unless you really don't care about your data security/privacy (and that of your users).
We ban accounts that do these things, so if you'd please stop doing them, we'd appreciate that. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules in the future, we'd appreciate that as well.
