The US Department of Homeland Security has banned the use of DeepSeek across federal civilian agencies. The move came just days after the Chinese AI firm released its latest model, which drew widespread attention in the tech industry.

Commenters online are debating whether the ban is a necessary safeguard or an overreaction to a fast-rising competitor.
