Apriot prevents Texas officials from using Deepseek, Rednote on government agencies

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has banned state officials from the use of Chinese -owned technology such as Deepseek and Rednote on government agencies on Friday.

Abbott said in a press statement: “Texas will not allow the Communist Party of China to infiltrate the critical infrastructure in our state through harvesting artificial intelligence and social media applications.” “Texas will continue to protect our state from hostile foreign actors.”

In recent weeks, Dibsic’s popularity, a start -up company for artificial intelligence (AI), and Rednote, has increased a short -in -form social media application throughout the country with the continuation of the United States

Abbott added in the issue: “The state agencies and employees responsible for dealing with critical infrastructure, intellectual property and personal information should be protected from malicious spying by the Chinese Communist Party.”

President Trump has described Dibsic’s newly reservation in the country as a “vigil”.

He told Republicans in the House of Representatives in the decline in the annual policy earlier this week.

Meanwhile, former Google Eric Schmitt CEO has described Ai Startup that it exploded to the scene as a “turning point” in the global artificial intelligence race.

“There is clearly increasing pressure on the adult technology players in America if Dibsic can compete with them using much lower resources,” he wrote in an article.

However, Deepseek has been largely rejected by other technology leaders. Openai Sam Altman claimed that the effect of the artificial intelligence model is “exaggerated” while Meta Mark Zuckerberg expressed his confidence in AI’s work for his company.

Rednote, which was also prevented by ABBOTT, was among the best free downloads in the Apple App Store in Apple in the week in which Tiktok court ordered, to enter into force.

Abbott was banned by Tiktok of government agencies in 2022.

Other applications included in the Texas, Tiger Brokers, Moomoo and Lemon8 ban.
