A bipartisan committee in the U.S. House of Representatives has issued a warning about DeepSeek, a Chinese technology firm, citing significant national security concerns. According to a report released on Wednesday, the company is accused of collecting data from American users and transmitting the information back to China. The committee concluded that such data practices by DeepSeek represent a “profound threat” to U.S. national security. Lawmakers from both major political parties expressed concerns that sensitive personal and potentially strategic information could be exploited by foreign actors. The report does not specify the type or scope of data allegedly collected, but raises alarm over the potential for unauthorized surveillance and misuse by the Chinese government. This warning adds to ongoing tensions between the United States and China over data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology governance. Calls are growing in Washington for stricter regulations and oversight of foreign tech companies that operate on U.S. soil. It remains unclear if legislative or enforcement actions will follow the report’s recommendations. <p style="font-size: 14px; color: #666;">Source: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-16/house-panel-claims-deepseek-poses-profound-security-threat">https://</a> - Courtesy of the original publisher.</p>
