A local LLM is not online by default. The real privacy risk is the app, agent tools, and MCP servers wrapped around it. #ArtificialIntelligence #Privacy #CyberSecurity
A local LLM does not have internet access by default. If a model is running on your machine, inference is just local computation; internet access only appears when the surrounding app, API server, browser integration, or agent framework is allowed to connect outward, download files, or call tools. That distinction matters because "runs locally" and "keeps your data local" are not the same claim.
