Yes, we should ban all those, too. Or just enforce EU style privacy laws in America.

The US government doesn’t want an adversary government to have the data of its citizens (because of varios reasons, including mass manipulation for example). They would of course have no issue with having that data themselves though (also because then they would be more in control over how the data is handled).

Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.

Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?

Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?

It does matter. Because the US can do it if they decide to. They have significant power over companies based in their country.

They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.
