US Congress bans use of DeepSeek

US authorities have restricted access to DeepSeek for Congress staff, as the platform could be exploited by malicious actors to infect devices, Axios reports.

According to an official statement, the House of Representatives has taken additional measures to protect its information infrastructure.

«Чтобы минимизировать риски, функциональность DeepSeek была заблокирована на всех устройствах, находящихся в управлении Палаты представителей», — говорится в распоряжении главного административного должностного лица ведомства. (To minimise risks, DeepSeek functionality has been blocked on all devices under the management of the House of Representatives, the department's chief administrative officer's directive states.)
