> this data collection done by a foreign government and exploited for surveillance or espionage is a national security risk.

How were Snowden revelations of USG<>Bigtech relationship materially different from what's happening here? Maybe it was less transparent?

Any "woke" person can see the cognitive dissonance here. It's all fine that you use the geopolitical rivalry argument but not if you try to paint one side of the argument as "free" and "liberal" and "subject to rule of law" when it's clearly not the case
