South Korea has temporarily suspended downloads of DeepSeek AI’s apps due to privacy concerns. The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) cited the need for the service to comply with data protection regulations. This action follows similar restrictions in other regions, highlighting increasing global scrutiny over AI app privacy practices. The suspension will remain in effect until DeepSeek implements the necessary changes to address the identified privacy issues.
