The South Korean government has decided to temporarily remove the popular application from Chinese AI laboratory DeepSeek from local app stores due to concerns regarding the collection and processing of user data.
DATA TRANSFERRED TO TIKTOK
Following an investigation, the South Korean Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) revealed that DeepSeek had been transmitting user data to ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok.
SOUTH KOREA'S DECISION
The PIPC banned the download of the application on the grounds that DeepSeek did not comply with Korea's privacy laws and failed to implement sufficient security measures to protect user data. The commission announced that the application would be available for download again if DeepSeek makes the necessary adjustments to become compliant with the laws.
DeepSeek officials announced that they would cooperate with authorities in South Korea to make the necessary adjustments and take the required steps to make the application available for download again. They also stated that they would implement additional security measures to protect user data and prevent privacy violations.
