In a recent briefing, the South Korean Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) reported that downloads of Chinese AI app DeepSeek were paused due to privacy violations. This suspension, which began on Saturday, does not affect existing users in South Korea. The PIPC noted DeepSeek's partial neglect of its data protection duties, including issues related to third-party data transfers and excessive personal information collection. DeepSeek has sent a representative to address these concerns, but resolution may take time. Further scrutiny has revealed security flaws in the app, prompting wider international concern.
