South Korea suspends new downloads of Chinese AI app DeepSeek over privacy concerns
South Korea has suspended new downloads of Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek. A government official explained that the decision was made due to concerns over data privacy. Authorities said DeepSeek's app services will be resumed after it makes improvements in accordance with South Korea's privacy law. The Chinese firm acknowledged last week it had failed to consider some of the country's data laws in its global expansion. The temporary suspension will not affect existing users that have already downloaded the app. DeepSeek's web service also remains accessible in South Korea.
