Why is DeepSeek banned in these countries? I really need to know the reason it is banned in the United States. I guess they will say lack of privacy or the company that developed the app is sharing information to the Chinese government. I hope Facebook, Twitter and other social media and companies belonging to United States citizens are not the same. Sharing information of people to the government.
Several countries and regulatory bodies have banned the use of Chinese technology due to concerns about its impact on national security and data privacy. The story began when the US government began attacking TikTok and calling on its owner to sell it to an American company.
Other countries have issued warnings about the Chinese app without banning it entirely.
In an interview with Bloomberg, the UK’s Minister for Artificial Intelligence, Ferial Clarke, said: “It is ultimately up to the individual to decide whether or not to download the app. But my advice is for users to be aware of the potential risks and understand how their data is being used."
