BlockBeats News, May 9th, according to TechCrunch report, Microsoft's Vice Chairman and President, Brad Smith, stated at a U.S. Senate hearing that an internal ban has been issued, prohibiting all employees from using the DeepSeek application (including desktop/mobile). Although DeepSeek is based on an open-source model and companies can deploy it themselves to avoid data leakage, Microsoft pointed out that there is still a risk of "spreading propaganda or generating insecure code." It is worth noting that Microsoft has not completely banned competitors (such as Perplexity) from the Windows App Store, but Google-related apps (including Gemini) have quietly disappeared.
