U.S. Representatives Josh Gottheimer and Darin LaHood have introduced the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act" to prohibit the use of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek on federal devices. This bill arises from concerns that DeepSeek could facilitate surveillance and misinformation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With allegations linking the app's code to unauthorized data sharing with China Mobile, lawmakers stress the need to prevent potential national security breaches. As international scrutiny increases, countries like Italy and Australia have already restricted DeepSeek, mirroring action taken against TikTok.
