SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's data protection authority said on Thursday that Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek transferred user information and prompts without permission when the service was still available for download in the country's app market.

In February, South Korea's data agency suspended new downloads of the DeepSeek app in the country after it said DeepSeek acknowledged failing to take into account some of the agency's rules on protecting personal data.

The data protection agency said on Thursday that DeepSeek also sent content in AI prompts entered by users to Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co. Ltd. along with device, network and app information.

If you use a shitty Tiong chatbot, you deserve the worst consequences.

You can try the Deepseek chatbot, now built into Baidu. Knowing Chinese language helps.

No need to register, just ask it some controversial questions.
