Chinese intelligence has infiltrated so many avenues of the US that they’re considered a hostile nation. I guarantee you’d find Zuckerberg under the same scrutiny if Meta was repeatedly caught hacking into US military and intelligence systems.
With that being said, we should enable nation privacy legislation like the GDPR to protect against this behavior from all services.
Its not okay, but do they also warn about how much data Facebook, X, etc collect and share willingly with the US Govt? That's the problem with most of these stories is people only care when its China specifically. As if the US doesn't have a greater ability to destroy Canada if it ever had the incentive to do so. The framing is never 'spy apps are bad', just 'this one spy app is bad' when its the government saying it.
