What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Department of Homeland Security issued an order requiring civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party tools from government information technology systems and cease purchasing them. The order cites that DeepSeek models present multiple threat vectors, including the risk of sensitive data transferring to the People's Republic of China due to China-based servers and the collection of personally identifiable information.
