The US government is more ethical and more respectful of the rule of law and human rights than Russia or China.

Let me paste it in again, so we know it isn't a typo:

The US government is more ethical and more respectful of the rule of law and human rights than Russia or China.

The US government is not perfect. Portions of the US government are a danger to the rights of some people, particularly civilians in the middle east. Regarding "cyber", it has several major stains on its history, including PRISM, XKeyscore, warrantless wiretapping, and the current president's support of the Clipper chip in the 90s.

I support privacy protections on mobile devices and mobile apps, and support in general stronger regulations against the collection of personal information by tech giants.

I resent Meta and Google for the amount of data they collect about me and everyone I know with any Android device/Meta app installed.

Every statement I have made can be made while non-hypocritically supporting the statement by the FCC regarding TikTok. It isn't just economic protectionism - it's national security. I don't think a Chinese politician or military official should have Facebook or Instagram installed on their mobile phone, either.
