This is my surprised face -_- If you're shocked or even the slightest bit surprised, then I can't imagine how blissful your life is to be so unaware about how much corporations are sharing data with each other. Like, I wholeheartedly expect that if I mention Beyblade toys on Facebook, then the next time I visit Amazon, they'll be suggesting Beyblades even if I've never even searched Amazon for toys, let alone Beyblad…

That's literally Meta's business model, they will happily explain how thats going for them in public investors' calls every few months. With deepseek and bytedance things are a lot less clear cut.

The terms of use of Deepseek make it very clear they will sell your data.

There was data sharing between Twitter, Google and Facebook as well. USA has to make a decision between safety and national security.

Sorry how is a story about South Korea about the US?

wait, is this a bad thing for US Tech companies? Guess if that's a yes this is good for Europe?

The US decided ByteDance and TikTok were national security threats, so presumably this is not a "good thing" from the US's perspective.

I guess we know how many bots are commenting on this article based on how many of them are talking about the US, when the article is about South Korea?

(a) The BBC is not America, (b) South Korea is not America. It helps to at least browse the first paragraph before commenting.

To be fair, British (e.g. Experian) and SK (e.g. Samsung) companies do the same.
