The reason is that this application is suspected of being able to send user information to the Chinese government, thereby posing a national security risk.
This bill was proposed by a member of the House of Representatives from Illinois, Darin LaHood, and a member of the House of Representatives from New Jersey, Josh Gottheimer. This ban model is similar to the steps Congress took against TikTok—starting with a ban on government devices, then expanding to broader blocking measures.
Gottheimer asserted, “We have alarming evidence that they are using DeepSeek to steal sensitive information of American citizens. This is like a grade five fire in terms of national security threats.”

New York's Bronx Zoo Welcomes Baby Silverleaf Monkey
A baby silver leaf monkey was recently introduced to the public at New York's Bronx Zoo!
This baby monkey was born in November 2024 and can now be seen by visitors in the Jungle World area of the zoo.
