US EditionGerman Watchdog Orders Removal of Chinese AI App Deepseek from Apple and Google Stores
- Meike Kamp, Germany’s data protection official, has called on Apple and Google to take down the Chinese AI company DeepSeek from their platforms in Germany, citing concerns over unauthorized transmission of user data to China.
- The move followed DeepSeek's refusal to comply with requests to meet non-EU data transfer requirements after reports that the app unlawfully sends German user data to China.
- Similar actions occurred earlier this year when Italy blocked DeepSeek from app stores and Belgium recommended officials avoid the app amid concerns about Chinese authorities' access to personal data.
- Kamp indicated that DeepSeek has failed to demonstrate to her agency that the data of German users receives protection in China comparable to that mandated by the European Union, and she emphasized that Chinese authorities possess extensive rights to access personal information controlled by Chinese companies.
- The German case may trigger an EU-wide ban if Apple and Google block DeepSeek, as this would effectively prevent the app’s availability across EU member states and protect users’ sensitive information.
