Two American lawmakers introduced a bill to ban the use of the Chinese application DeepSeek in U.S. government agencies. According to the sponsors of the bill, this step is necessary to protect the national security of the country.
They expressed concern that this application could be used to collect confidential data and monitor government employees. The authors of the bill noted that DeepSeek is a service developed in China and suggested that it may have direct ties to the Chinese government. Such potential access to confidential information makes DeepSeek unacceptable for use by American government agencies.
The bill has caused widespread resonance in society. Opponents of the legislative initiative expressed concern about the potential restrictive access to information and limitations on internet freedom. While the bill has not yet been adopted, it has sparked active discussion among lawmakers and the public.
