Volcengine is a platform of cloud services released by Bytedance in 2021 to help enterprises with digital transformation. Bytedance connection to China is well established. Sensitive data or data effective for fingerprinting and tracking are in bold.
So they use a Chinese CDN or hosting? Shocking stuff. Hilarious that a company so bad at basic security beat OpenAI.
I sincerely doubt they're bad at it.
If leaking data is intentional then there are better ways than doing it in the open. Doubly so if you supposedly are in cahoots with your hosting and Chinese government.
"Open"ai is definitely sharing everything you tipe with your government. Only difference is that chinese care less about your illusions. That said we are not even a blip in the sea of data so it doesn't matter anyway.
Bdw your patriot act says that any data that goes over your border can be stored and used indefinitely. So me seing your comment means your nsa will store it and can use it, even though spying on your own people is against your constitution or something.
Yeah, I’m not an American and not here to argue one’s better than the other because if you care about your data you just don’t give them opportunity to see it. I’m having fun pointing out how silly this poo-slinging between US and China looks to bystanders, that’s all. It’s like denouncing DeepSeek is a modern day swearing fealty to the American lords.
