Germany is now also taking measures against Deepseek because of increasing concern about privacy. This is why this keeps happening.
Deep chat in more and more places forbidden
Deepseek won the world earlier this year, but soon received criticism from, among others, Western governments. The models are highly moderated and questions that China and his government can ask in a bad light are avoided.
But more importantly, the Deepseek privacy policy itself confirms that the app user prompts, uploaded files and other personal data stores on servers in China. And to that end, the authorities have extensive access on the basis of the national intelligence laws of the country.
The latter has ringed alarm bells worldwide. Italy was one of the first countries to remove Deepseek from the local App Stores. South Korea then did the same. In the Netherlands, the app was banned on government and Belgium devices advised officials to avoid the app. The most important consumer organization in Spain has now formally asked for an investigation.
In the meantime, legislators in the US are reportedly busy drawing up legislation that in principle prohibits federal authorities to use AI developed in China. A senator even suggested the idea of ​​imposing a prison sentence users of the app.
Now also measures in Germany
The highest German data protection regulator has formally requested Apple and Google to remove the Chinese Deepseek from their app stores. The country is concerned about the illegal transfer of personal data to China.
Meike Kamp, the federal data protection commissioner and freedom of information in Berlin, recently given a statement. She said that Deepseek did not provide sufficient guarantees that user data is being protected according to standards that are equivalent to those in the EU. Google has since announced that they have the request for removal. Apple has not yet commented.
CARE with AI
It may be clear that it is a good idea to be careful if you have information share With deep cleft. But that actually applies to all chatbots. The big difference is that the information at Deepseek is stored on Chinese servers. For both Chatgpt and Deepseek, it is not recommended to share personal, financial or other confidential data.
