Are we acting like the US isn't the biggest surveillance state existing in all history?

So because there's one app they don't control the data on, we need to ban it? Sounds like the free market to me.

China is the biggest surveillance state, both in population and in extent of surveillance, so literally by every single metric that could be thought of. So, not sure how you convinced yourself of that but even though I agree with parts of your sentiment you're doing your argument no favors convincing yourself of things which are literally false in every sense.
