South Korea Bans DeepSeek Over Data-Sharing Concerns with ByteDance

South Korea has accused Chinese AI startup DeepSeek of sharing user data with ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok

The country’s data protection regulator confirmed the link and removed DeepSeek from app stores over privacy concerns

The AI app, which made headlines in January for its low-cost model that rivaled ChatGPT…

…had been downloaded over a million times in South Korea before its removal

Worries about user data security have since spread globally, with U.S. cybersecurity experts also flagging potential data-sharing risks

While the app is now banned from stores, existing users can still access it via web browsers
