DeepSeek's cyber model gates access with export-control and sanctions questionnaires, leaked frontend code shows

Developer @Zekunnnnn spotted two new forms in DeepSeek's frontend code — cyber-enterprise-v4 and cyber-personal-v3 — apparently gating access to its cybersecurity model.
- Enterprise users must provide registration details and answer yes/no on export control, sanctioned business, cybercrime, and four other checks
- Individuals need an ID card plus a face scan
- teortaxesTex notes the irony: Chinese entities sanctioned by the USG likely can't use the model, since DeepSeek itself remains unsanctioned while those entities sit high on the US hit list
