Which countries have banned DeepSeek and why?
Al JazeeraDeepSeek is banned on government devices in South Korea, Australia and Taiwan. This week, government agencies in countries including South Korea and Australia have blocked access to Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek’s new AI chatbot programme, mostly for government employees. A week earlier, the US Navy warned its members in an email against using DeepSeek because of “potential security and ethical concerns associated with the model’s origin and usage”, CNBC reported. Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, which is run by the South Korean government, said it blocked the use of AI services on its workers’ devices including DeepSeek last month. Tsarynny told ABC that the DeepSeek application is capable of sending user data to “CMPassport.com, the online registry for China Mobile, a telecommunications company owned and operated by the Chinese government”.
