DeepSeek isn't owned by bytedance, which is why it's news worthy. The title is stating DeepSeek (an independent company) is sharing data with Bytedance (TikTok parent company).

So it would be like OpenAI sharing ChatGPT data to Google. Which would be noteworthy as there is likely a lot of sensitive information that people share and most people probably don't think that data is being sold/shared.
