U.S. Orders DeepSeek Removed From Federal Civilian Systems
Federal agencies have been ordered to remove DeepSeek AI from civilian information-technology systems, according to reports from The Hacker News, TechCrunch, the South China Morning Post and The Wall Street Journal.
The directive also bans new purchases of DeepSeek technology by federal agencies. The action is attributed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is linked to concerns about national security risks.
Taken together, the reports represent a significant tightening of U.S. restrictions on the use of DeepSeek within the federal civilian system, covering both installed technology and future procurement.
