One of the German data security on Friday said the Deepseek app is illegally sending users to China and asked Google and Apple Consider the blocking of artificial intelligence service.
Berlin Make Computer Commissioner said in a statement that German users’ transfer to China “Deepeek” illegally.
There is no available way to contact Deepseek. CNBC addressed the team in particular Deepseek.
Chinese firm Deepseek Made waves this year When she launched the AI model, which was allegedly created for the share of competitors using less advanced Nvidia chips.
The company also has its own global Chatbot AI app, which has been downloaded millions of times by typing close attention.
If some experts point out that the German case against Deepseek is progressing, it can lead to a ban on the entire European Union.
“It is known that this incident can lead to a ban on the entire EU, since the rules spread in Germany are the same in other EU places, as well as in the UK,” Matt Holman, AI specialist and Cripps lawyer said. However, there are a few steps before it becomes a reality.
What is Germany’s problem with Deepseek?
“Deepseek was unable to demonstrate my powers that German users were protected in China at the level, which is equivalent to what is in the European Union,” Camp said in Germany, CNBC reports. “Chinese authorities have extensive access to personal data in the field of Chinese companies.”
According to the general regulations for the protection of the European Union data – the Great BLOC Data Protection Law, companies are prohibited from sending data to the regions if certain guarantees do not operate in arrival countries. These guarantees must meet the GDPR requirements in Europe.
In short, Berlin’s Data Protection Authority is concerned that Chinese authorities can access German data sent by Deepseek to China.
What are the following steps?
Berlin data watchman said on Friday that he reported Apple and Google about alleged Deepseek violations and expects US technological giants to conduct a “timely review” about the ban or not of the relevant app stores.
It is unclear whether Google and Apple will perform. CNBC turned to both companies for comment.
Holman Cripps said that while the EU’s ban is possible, there should first be consensus among the block regulators, which would be a suitable step.
If Apple and Google delete Deepseek from your app stores, it will effectively cause a common EU, Holman said.
“The consequences for Deepseek may be unexpectedly, quite sharp. Access to German citizens will be curtailed. The short term may expand to the rest of the EU if other national regulators go to costumes meaning EU – and potentially UK – markets will be reduced if Apple and Google disables the application,” Holman said.
This is not the first participation in Deepek with regulators in Europe. Italian data protection authorities in February Ordered Deepseek To lock your app in the country. Meanwhile, the Irish authorities asked DEEPEEK information about its data processing in January.
