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.
