Immediate Restriction on DeepSeek in Italy

In a decisive move, the Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP) has mandated an immediate restriction on DeepSeek within the country. This action is aimed at safeguarding Italian users' data and privacy, sparking a wide-ranging debate on the implications for digital innovation and user protection.

Investigation Launched Against DeepSeek

Alongside the restriction, the GPDP has initiated an investigation into DeepSeek. This comes in the wake of the company's latest model, DeepSeek V3, which has significantly outperformed major competitors like GPT-4o and Claude-3.5, leading to substantial market shifts.

Market Impact of DeepSeek V3

The introduction of DeepSeek V3 has had profound effects on the market, notably causing Nvidia to lose nearly $600 billion in market value in the US. This highlights the disruptive potential of DeepSeek's technology and the global ripple effects of its advancements.
