Berlin Battles DeepSeek AI: GDPR Showdown with Google and Apple!
Berlin’s data protection czar wants Google and Apple to boot DeepSeek AI for GDPR violations. Why? DeepSeek’s alleged data hoarding and shipping to China without a first-class GDPR ticket. With Germany’s privacy watchdogs on alert, the fate of DeepSeek AI hangs in the balance. Will it be auf Wiedersehen or a GDPR miracle? Stay tuned!
Hot Take:
DeepSeek AI seems to have found itself in a deep mess with the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection. In a classic case of “Oops, I violated GDPR,” the app is now facing the digital equivalent of an eviction notice from Google and Apple stores. It’s a tale as old as time: a Chinese AI company dreams big, but forgets to read the EU’s fine print about data privacy. Whoopsie daisy, guess it’s time to pack up and head home—or at least until they find a way to meet those pesky GDPR standards!
Key Points:
- Berlin’s data protection commissioner demands Google and Apple remove DeepSeek AI for GDPR violations.
- DeepSeek unlawfully collects and transfers German user data to China.
- DeepSeek lacks a European Union branch, failing to meet GDPR requirements.
- Coordinated effort with other German and EU regulators to enforce compliance.
- Google and Apple have yet to respond to the commissioner’s request.
