(Not a troll post) Why is there censorship on DeepSeek? (lemmygrad.ml)

This is not a troll-post; I am genuinely curious about why this is the case. When I asked DeepSeek AI some Western propaganda questions like "Is Taiwan a country" and "What happened on Tiananmen Square 1989", it refuses to answer.

This is strange because on other Chinese sites like Baidu, you can easily search these topics and get answers from the non-Western, Chinese point of view that are very educational, yet DeepSeek for some reason flags these questions. I've only tested this out with the English version since I unfortunately am not fluent in Chinese.

Does anyone have any possible explanation for why this may be the case?

Edit: After some further investigation, I'm seeing that the AI's political views tend to be pretty liberal and only a little to the left of ChatGPT. In this context, I can see why it refuses to answer these questions in an attempt to prevent the spread of disinformation.
