D.C. Lawmakers Take Aim at DeepSeek
Briefly

Recent reports indicate that U.S. lawmakers are preparing legislation to ban the DeepSeek app from government devices over security concerns. This action mirrors the past response to TikTok, as officials worry the app may transfer sensitive user information to China. The discussion has intensified amidst the Trump administration's budget debates and the implications of the Impoundment Control Act, which limits presidential power concerning allocated funds. Analysts suggest DeepSeek's rapidly evolving technology poses significant challenges for American tech firms and policymakers alike.
The emergence of DeepSeek in recent weeks as a force in artificial intelligence caught Silicon Valley and Washington by surprise, necessitating a response from American tech giants.
Lawmakers are planning to ban DeepSeek from government devices due to security concerns, mirroring actions taken against TikTok years ago.
