I mean that's all fair but the title says that it's a matter of national security because it's a Chinese owned company. Facebook is absolutely aggregious and could possibly also be considered a matter a national security (probably should be imo), but because it's an American company it's not immediately seen as a threat.

You're right. I see ALL data collection like this as a threat. Fb, IG, TT, Twitter, Google, Apple the works.
