As long as companies are operating faithfully within the law, they’re free to do that. And you’re free to criticize it and boycott it. Companies like Apple and others should be allowed to be concerned about theft of sensitive data just as much as the government. Just because it’s not a matter of national security doesn’t mean it’s okay. Nobody here is trying to discriminate against a race. The problem is having ties to relatives living under a government that is known for making people disappear. The same would apply for a white person with many relatives there, etc. Your argument of companies not being allowed to take cautionary steps against a foreign government doesn’t hold water.
