There’s a significant difference between data collection by companies from your country and data collection by companies from a country that’s geopolitical, and hostile, rival. It isn’t a question of whether the data collection sucks for us, but if it sucks more for us or less.
So no outside the US should own/buy anything related to a US company because they are definitely mining data for the US and the US is THE rouge state in the world.

The US isn’t a rogue state, it’s the most powerful. Only states that don’t go along with its commands can be considered rogue.
Might doesn’t make right.
But it defines and enforces the system a state “goes rogue” from. It isn’t about right and wrong.
