This bypasses the overt censorship on the web interface, but it does not bypass the second, more insidious, level of censorship that is built into the model.

Apparently the model will abandon its "Chain of Thought" (CoT) for certain topics and instead produce a canned response. This effect was the subject of the article "1,156 Questions Censored by DeepSeek", which appeared on HN a few days ago.

Suffering isn't a competition. Stripping a group of people's identity and forcing them to confirm is oppression btw.

You have no clue what oppression actually is.

You can identify whatever you want but society has no obligation to conform to your made uo identity. It's not oppression, it's freedom of speech.

That's nice that you're giving me permission to identify how I want to. The current US federal government is trying to take away that right, and calling me unfit to live an an honorable, truthful, and disciplined life, even in my own personal life.

The United States was built on oppression, slavery, and genocide. We have a long history of concentration camps for people deemed enemies of the state. There are women and children in cages at the border right now. I have no doubt influential people in the federal government would like to include me and people like me in the list of people to lock up, for the children.
