DeepSeek faces yet another country-wide ban — here's what that means for you
Chinese AI app DeepSeek could be facing another ban, this time in Germany. Data protection official Meike Kamp has filed a formal request with both Apple and Google to remove DeepSeek from digital storefronts. Kamp, the Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, has accused the app of sending personal data to China, a violation of European Union law. In May, the official requested that DeepSeek comply with legal requirements for data transfer, remove the app themselves, or stop the data transfer. Kamp's requests were not responded to, leading to the report being filed to both Apple and Google. Here's what Kamp had to say (machine translated): 'The transfer of user data by DeepSeek to China is unlawful. DeepSeek has not been able to convincingly prove to my authority that data from German users: Inside China is protected at a level equivalent to that of the European Union. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Chinese authorities have extensive access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies. In addition, DeepSeek users in China do not have enforceable rights and effective remedies guaranteed in the European Union. I have therefore informed Google and Apple, as operators of the largest app platforms, about the violations and expect a blocking to be checked as soon as possible.' It remains to be seen what steps Apple or Google will take (if any), but it's clear that each isn't afraid to respond. DeepSeek drew similar concerns from Italian and Irish watchdogs earlier this year, and was pulled from Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store in Italy, with customers being advised that the app was 'currently not available in the country or area you are in'. Other countries, while not immediately banning the use of Deepseek are wary of it. The British governemnt has said the use of Deepseek remains a personal choice for the public, but they do monitor all national security threats from any source. In recent days, Chinese search engine Baidu has announced its Ernie LLM will go open source, suggesting there are more models to come from the country yet. The Chinese AI model, which launched in late 2024, had huge ramifications for stock prices of US-based tech firms thanks to its rapid adoption and meteoric rise to prominence as a competitor to the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. 'Our office will launch an in-depth investigation to see if GDPR rules [European Union data protection regulations] are being respected,' said the head of the Italian data regulator, Pasquale Stanzione, back in January. According to Deepseek's own privacy policy, it stores numerous bits of personal data, such as requests to its AI system or uploaded files. All of this information is stored on computers in China. In our guide on how to opt out of data training, Deepseek stood out as the hardest AI model to get out of data usage. In recent days, Chinese search engine Baidu has announced its Ernie LLM will go open source, suggesting there are more models to come from the country yet.

Brunetti Oro Launches Vegan and Gluten-Free Cake Range for Melbourne's Sweet Lovers
Iconic Italian Patisserie Expands Menu with Plant-Based and Flourless Options to Cater to All Dessert Cravings MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - July 2, 2025 - Brunetti Oro, the iconic name synonymous with Melbourne's Italian café culture, has recently taken a bold step into inclusive indulgence with its new vegan and gluten-free dessert range. This launch marks a move that celebrates both tradition and modern dietary preferences. The reputed pasticceria has introduced an exquisite selection of cakes and gelati that cater to plant-based and gluten-intolerant food lovers, who no longer have to compromise on flavour, texture, or elegance. Suppose you are among those embracing a plant-based lifestyle, undergoing dietary restrictions, or simply seeking a delicious twist on classic favourites. In that case, Brunetti Oro now offers more ways than ever to indulge. The updated menu features a thoughtfully curated collection of new items, including handcrafted vegan gelato cakes, such as the rich and nutty Vegan Pistacchiola, the decadent Vegan Chococonut, and the refreshing Vegan Fragola al Limone. Each dessert is carefully developed by Brunetti's master pastry chefs to deliver a true Italian experience, minus the dairy and gluten. For those who prefer their indulgences flourless, Brunetti Oro now offers gluten-free renditions of beloved Italian staples. Highlights include the Torta Caprese, a sumptuous chocolate and almond cake hailing from the island of Capri, and the silky, deeply flavoured Chocolate Soufflé. Both are crafted with meticulous care to honour their traditional recipes, while offering a safe and satisfying experience for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. 'We've always believed that food is for everyone, and now our menu truly reflects that,' said Yuri Angele, Owner of Brunetti Oro. 'By introducing more vegan and gluten-free options, we're hoping to embrace the diversity of our customers and make sure no one has to miss out on the flavours, textures, and memories that define Brunetti.' The menu update goes well beyond desserts. Brunetti Oro is also bringing inclusivity to its savoury selection, with new plant-based and gluten-friendly options designed to satisfy all palates. Vegan cheese is now available on a variety of pizzas and pastas, and gluten-free gnocchi can be substituted in most pasta dishes, creating a seamless dining experience for those with dietary preferences or restrictions. The menu is a celebration of flavour, tradition, and innovation, ranging from a creamy vegan carbonara to a vibrant Margherita pizza topped with plant-based mozzarella. The expansion arrives at a time when more Australians are looking for inclusive dining experiences that align with their lifestyles. According to recent data from IBISWorld, the demand for vegan and gluten-free products continues to rise steadily across Australia, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial consumers who are driving a shift toward more health-conscious and ethically minded eating habits. Brunetti Oro's new menu directly responds to this evolving demand, proving that dietary consideration and indulgence can and should go hand in hand. Whether customers are long-time patrons or first-time visitors, the experience promises to be as warm and delicious as ever. The new vegan and gluten-free items are now available at both Brunetti Oro locations: Brunswick, Myer Melbourne and Flinders Lane. Guests can enjoy the new offerings in-store or explore the full menu online at About Brunetti Oro Brunetti Oro is Melbourne's premier Italian pasticceria, renowned for its authentic, handcrafted cakes, pastries, gelato, and savoury fare.

Need a Buzz? DeLonghi Espresso Machines Are Up to 39% Off
Retail overlord Jeff Bezos might've gifted guests at his lavish Venetian wedding Amazon slippers, but if your invite to his nuptials got lost in the mail, fear not — Italian luxury is still within reach thanks to the De'Longhi deals for Prime Day. Call this early Prime Day deal a honeymoon gift: De'Longhi, makers of premium Italian espresso machines, are on super sale, with discounts of up to 39% off, so we're talking serious markdowns on the bougie, reliable appliance brand. If there's an empty space in your kitchen right next to your wooden sign that reads 'But first, coffee,' now's the time to fill it with one of these beauties. De'Longhi's sleek espresso machines are made for the real coffee head — the true bean bros. If you're unfamiliar with De'Longhi's game, the small appliance manufacturer was born in Treviso, Italy in 1902, and is well-known in the coffee industry for its many models of well-designed espresso machines. When it comes to espresso, trust Italians. It's their thing! At-home baristas, buckle up to go full script on that java, baby! That was an internet joke, but for real, we've always wanted one of these bad boys — and now seems to be the time to add to cart. Here are a few that deserve that coveted spot on your counter. This handsome, multifunctional stainless steel espresso machine is 35% off right now. Only $149.95 for a primo espresso maker? I'm buzzin' — and will be taking full advantage of its milk frother, temperature control function, and ability to make on-demand espresso martinis (!). The original price on this luxe, do-it-all bad boy is $749.50, but right now, you'll save 33% and take it home for under 500 bucks. Looking for a built-in grinder, cold extraction technology, and easy to clean, dishwasher-safe parts? Move quick. This versatile machine is for those who like to switch it up between coffee and espresso drinks, hot and iced. At the touch of a button, it brews four different cup sizes with a heat up time of just 25 seconds, and as an added bonus, it comes with an Aeroccino3 milk frother. At 35% off, it's likely at its best price of the year. If you've been wanting to finally get into espresso, but fear keeps you from being your truest caffeinated self, the Stilosa is the perfect starter machine — ready to save you many, many dollars on lattes and cappuccinos. At just $99.95 — down from $149.95 — this is the time to buy. Short on counter space? You can still make espresso at home, mate. This petite but powerful machine is perfect for a small kitchen, and doesn't skimp on features, from Advanced Thermoblock technology to a steam wand that makes gorgeous microfoam every time. [Alarm clock noise] At 39% off, this is the best discounted price for a De'Longhi espresso machine on Amazon right now. The Magnifica Evo really lives up to its name, with tons of built-in functions and touch-of-a-button settings that will have you sipping on an iced coffee, latte, or macchiano in minutes (and with pretty much zero effort on your end).
