Saying it's only them is absolutely racist. Most social media corporations sell data. Including to the Chinese government. Go look at the "permissions" threads, Instagram, and the FB app require these days and tell me they aren't ripping every bit of data they can.

There's a big difference between hardening your security hardware supply line and accusing only the Chinese social media platform of taking data.
