    But they don’t care about spying unless it’s the Chinese government, because that’s what makes it a national security issue.

      So ban it on government devices. China spying on me personally has no national security implications. That goes the same for pretty much every other American citizen. Add to that, most other apps are spying in the same way and then re-selling that data globally to the highest bidder. It’s not about national security. Pushes to infringe on our rights never have been, that’s just the excuse they use.
