There was a big uproar on one of the retrogaming subs I'm on a couple of weeks ago when someone noticed their device connecting to a strange Chinese URL when it hopped on wifi. There was a bunch of panic that the CCP was watching you play Mario 3 for the millionth time until someone pointed out it was just part of Android's wifi captive portal check, and US devices do the same thing but with a different URL.
That said, Deepseek is almost certainly sharing info with the government, at least on their hosted versions of the LLM.

They're claiming AI was used to decrypt part of its code to find it talks to several Chinese servers when making accounts.
I assume that means somebody used 'find' with some keywords on the open source code.
