Lawmakers propose new legislation to ban DeepSeek from federal devices

U.S. Lawmakers introduced the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act" to ban the Chinese AI app DeepSeek from federal devices, similar to TikTok's ban.
The legislation aims to protect national security by preventing the Chinese government from using the app for surveillance and misinformation.
Countries like Canada, Australia, and Taiwan have also banned DeepSeek from government devices due to privacy and security concerns.
DeepSeek's privacy policy reveals it collects sensitive user information, raising alarms about its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
