South Korea Puts DeepSeek Chatbot on Pause: Privacy Breach or Just a Data Drama?
South Korea has hit the pause button on DeepSeek downloads, citing data protection woes. The AI chatbot has been asked to revise its privacy policies or face a cold shoulder in the app market. Meanwhile, users are advised to keep their secrets to themselves until further notice.
Hot Take:
***South Korea hits the pause button on DeepSeek downloads faster than I hit snooze in the morning. Looks like DeepSeek’s AI might be smart, but it still has a lot to learn about playing by the rules.***
Key Points:
– South Korea suspends new downloads of the Chinese AI chatbot, DeepSeek, over privacy concerns.
– The suspension was initiated by the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) due to non-compliance with data protection laws.
– DeepSeek is currently required to adjust its personal data processing policies to align with South Korean regulations.
– PIPC is also addressing security flaws found in DeepSeek’s mobile apps that risk sending data unencrypted.
– The suspension does not affect the web service, which remains available.
