    Ex post facto laws are expressly prohibited in Article I, so they can’t pass a law criminalizing downloads from before the law was passed.

    They can, however, criminalize possessing a copy of DeepSeek. In that case you’d be legally required to delete it after the law passed.

      Not sure about the laws wording, but if it is open source just create a branch with a different name.

      They also can’t amend the constitution via executive order or deport US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

        Yup.

        “they can’t do that, that’s illegal!”

        Shame the law doesn’t mean Jack Fucking Shit now.

        The law is whatever they want it to be at any moment.
