The Italian regulator, known as the Garante, said on Tuesday it wanted to know what personal data is collected, from which sources, for what purposes, on what legal basis and whether it is stored in China. It gave DeepSeek and its affiliated companies 20 days to respond.

          It’s a comment on cherrypicking, namely why is it “bad” for DeepSeek but OK for Outlook?

          It has to do that none of the American apps are being banned for the exact same reason. Especially that we know for certain that they are (at the very least) as bad as that one Chinese app. It’s a funny double standard.

            Yeah, I would say we really need Open Source, privacy-respecting apps everywhere. We don’t need a Great Firewall. Nowhere.

              Ur just an anti-china nut posting garbage online trying to get people to agree with you.

              Even if China somehow was worse than US companies at harvesting our data, which would be worse for me as a person? Which one could actually do something to me as an individual for wrong-think?
