    It’s actually easier than that - the model gets loaded onto open-source software that is usually made by American companies. It doesn’t connect to stuff… because it can’t. It’s like an MP4 or jpeg file.

      I know, I’m just saying that if the software (not the dataset) calls home, you can either modify the software, which is hard to do right, or you just easily block it with a firewall
