On: South Korean regulator accuses DeepSeek of sharing user data with ByteDance

Which is in this case a pretty important distinction. Letting another company leverage user data within the bounding zone which you've defined is not the same thing as is being alleged here, which is actually sharing data.

It's quite literally the difference between exposing a public API and actually handing over the contents of the database.

Facebook buys (well at least used to) buy data from other brokers. So you can think Bytedance = Facebook, Deepseek = data broker in this scenario.

Both are real violations of users.

I didn't say they weren't, but it's an important distinction nonetheless.
