Italy Warns DeepSeek Over Data Privacy Risks| Justo Global

DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup, has come under scrutiny as Euroconsumers, a coalition of European consumer groups, has teamed up with the Italian DPA to file a complaint regarding how DeepSeek handles personal data in compliance with the GDPR. This marks one of the first major actions from a watchdog since DeepSeek gained significant attention in recent days. The authority highlighted that "The data of millions of Italians is at risk," giving DeepSeek 20 days to respond.
