Someone explain to me how this works?

Big Tech acquires companies founded and run by literal foreign spies and recruits said agents into critical positions with their departments. Meanwhile their alumni buddies down the street over at proscribed companies like NSO and Candiru hack into the products and services of these very same companies and use it to target citizens (including journalists, activists, politicians, diplomats) of America and its allies? And no one thinks there is a conflict of interest or threat to national security here?
