WARNING: DEEPSEEK POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO YOUR PRIVACY AND SECURITY
Frontline
Australia’s national security is under direct threat, and our Frontline members must take immediate action to protect themselves. The federal government has banned DeepSeek on all government devices, following stark warnings from cybersecurity experts that the data it collects is almost certainly accessible to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
This is not mere speculation, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke himself stated that the ban was imposed “to protect Australia’s national security and national interest.” DeepSeek, which has rapidly gained traction as a low-cost alternative to ChatGPT, is under scrutiny for its concerning ties to the CCP, with cybersecurity firm CyberCX confirming its data collection practices pose a severe risk to Australians.
Why Should You Be Concerned?
Every time you interact with DeepSeek, your data could be harvested and stored by a regime notorious for surveillance, cyber espionage, and intelligence gathering. No Australian should be comfortable knowing their personal information, conversations, and possibly even financial details could end up in the hands of a foreign government.
We’ve seen this before—Australia previously banned TikTok on government devices due to similar concerns, and Huawei was blocked from participating in our 5G network rollout. These decisions were made because the risks were simply too great. DeepSeek falls into the same dangerous category, yet some Australians are still downloading and using this AI platform.
If you have downloaded Deepseek – What You Need to Do Now
- Immediately delete DeepSeek from your devices – This is the only way to ensure your personal data is not compromised.
- Warn family, friends, and colleagues – Spread the word that DeepSeek is a direct risk to their security.
- Stay vigilant – Be cautious of any new technology developed under the influence of the CCP.
- Support the government’s decisive action – Australia has taken a firm stand against this security risk, and we must stand together to protect our nation.
The Bottom Line
DeepSeek is not just another AI tool—it is a clear and present danger to your personal security and Australia’s national interests. The government has acted swiftly, but now it’s up to you to ensure you are not exposing yourself to this growing threat.
Protect your data. Protect Australia. Say NO to DeepSeek.
