A new Chinese AI app, DeepSeek, is under fire as U.S. lawmakers push to ban it from government devices over national security concerns. The app, which has quickly become the most downloaded AI chatbot in the U.S., is now being compared to the TikTok controversy, raising questions about data privacy, cybersecurity, and international tech policies.
Why Is DeepSeek Being Banned?
Cybersecurity experts discovered hidden code in DeepSeek that may send user login data to China Mobile, a state-owned telecom banned in the U.S.
Lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation to block the app from all U.S. government devices.
NASA, the U.S. Navy, and Texas have already banned DeepSeek from their networks.
DeepSeek Faces Global Crackdowns
Australia, Italy, and South Korea have already restricted or banned DeepSeek on government devices.
More countries could follow suit if security concerns grow.
Is This the Next TikTok Battle?
DeepSeek’s rising popularity and national security concerns mirror the TikTok ban debate that led to Congress blocking TikTok from government devices and pushing its parent company to sell its U.S. operations or face a full ban.
What Happens Next?
If the legislation passes Congress, DeepSeek could be banned from all U.S. government devices, with the possibility of expanding to a nationwide ban.
Will DeepSeek survive the crackdown, or is it the next big tech ban? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
