Seems not true. I worked in mobile security. We had massive amounts of data about mobile apps and the suspected behaviour they show (via dynamic analysis, static analysis, code signatures, etc) We saw a huge amount of Ad SDKs showing all kinds of malicious behaviour. Facebook etc were the worse, TikTok was not particularly exceptional. One of the biggest problem for an anti malware product in that space is that most "legitimate" software looked indistinguishable from spywares. And if we were to mark these as malware then our product won't be usable. These apps are hoovering crazy amount of information. They should be banned, universally. No matter which country they originate at. Giving politicians this kind of power over the population in a democratic society is a huge national security risk. No less than a foreign power having these capabilities.
