The Chinese Communist government threw a fit Tuesday after South Korea banned China’s new DeepSeek artificial intelligence (AI) on security and data privacy grounds. The post South Korea Blocks China’s DeepSeek After Finding It Leaked Data to Tiktok Parent Company appeared first on Breitbart.
South Korea temporarily halted downloads of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek after discovering it leaked user data to ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. The South Korean Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) found that DeepSeek transmitted user information to ByteDance without proper authorization. China's government criticized the move, accusing South Korea of politicizing technology. DeepSeek voluntarily agreed to halt downloads and admitted to not adhering to South Korea's data privacy laws. The app remains temporarily unavailable while an investigation into its data practices continues, with no immediate ban but a call for caution from users.
