The American version of DeepSeek or any Chinese AI app that you encounter is not actually Chinese

Summary

A user reports that DeepSeek's AI app behaves differently in the US versus Brazil, refusing to answer questions about Chinese history and political parallels, suggesting regional censorship or restrictions.

Doing a research project about Chinese history and parallels in American politics. It refuses to answer any of it even though it’s a basic world history. I asked a question about chairman Maos Long march and the parallels that it has with American current events. When I was in Brazil, it was no problem, but here in the USA it will not answer it. It will try to answer, but then the answer is erased and replaced with a message saying that they cannot address issues out of its scope. It seems like the USA lives in a digital prison
