I'm no fan of that either, but where does the national security risk come in?

Giving random private companies Stasi like surveillance by default is in my opinion a national security risk for many reasons. It feels strange that I even have to point out that its ripe for corruption:

- people in the know can shape the narrative

- shady domestic or foreign powers can get access

- a future potential non-democratic dictatorship has a turn-key surveillance and propaganda tool already up and running

I think that's bad.
