Virginia bans DeepSeek from state devices, networks

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order banning DeepSeek AI from government-owned or government-leased devices or networks.
The ban follows New York's governor's similar action due to concerns about security threats posed by the application.
Youngkin stated the ban is to help "guard the security of the Commonwealth's information technology infrastructure" due to potential data transmission to a banned Chinese company.
The order prohibits the download or use of DeepSeek AI on any state-owned or leased devices or networks.
