#12Here is my story. I needed to buy central console for my car (purchased it a while ago in used cars lot). Went to Amazon and made my selection. Next thing is I see is the warning: this particular console will not fit you car which is MAKE: XXXY, MODEL: YYYY, YEAR: ZZZZ. How's that for data sharing.

#14... in the same way a lot of website in this world 'shared user data' with Google.
Through Google Analytics.
Yeah, believe it or not. ByteDance has a cloud offering. And it includes a frontend APM product. And DeepSeek used that. How surprising! A Chinese company used a Chinese cloud.
Oh, and chat.deepseek.com resolve to a Huawei Cloud IP address in China. It resolves to Cloudflare outside of mainland China, but who knows, maybe they just decided to wrap with another CDN and their servers are still on Huawei Cloud. So they sent data to Huawei, too. I repeat, H-U-A-W-E-I. That cursed telecom equipment company in the States.

#15> These references suggest deep integration with ByteDance's analytics and performance monitoring infrastructure
I mean when I visit a random website or open a random app, I kind of expect that it will use something like Google Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics so that my "user data" is shared with Google.
If the article wants me to feel outraged about this practice, I don't. I understand that analytics and performance monitoring are often outsourced to a third party, often without a choice of turning off the analytics and performance monitoring features in the first place.
I use the DeepSeek app happily without giving it any data I consider private. I have a separate local DeepSeek distilled model for that.
