Seeing a lot of articles discrediting deepseek, talking about the TOS and that it’s unsafe to use and censored, so how does it compare to its competitors in this regard?

Not seeing any articles with a clear comparison of LLM TOSes, but my understanding was that most LLM chat bots are collecting data and censoring results. Am I wrong?

I've also seen a couple of comments on Reddit saying that this is really just a discreditation campaign because the markets and investors are fearful of the "new reality". Billions in and now nothing of a ROI. (This is a bit conspiracy theorist I believe, but not completely bonkers).

Surely this sub can fill in the blanks? Sort the wheat from the chaff?
