Part 3/8:
Countries leading the charge against Deep Seek include Italy, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, and the USA. Each has highlighted similar concerns regarding data security, potential surveillance, and the implications of using software linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Italy was the first Western nation to take action, blocking the app and launching an investigation into its data collection methods. Similarly, Taiwan cited surveillance concerns with their prompt ban, while Australia has restricted its use in sensitive government and military sectors. South Korea has enforced strict measures, prohibiting any use of Deep Seek within its defense and law enforcement agencies due to espionage fears.
