An app being 'state controlled' is not an inherently good or bad thing. It's what the app does that is important. Does it collect data? Does it transmit data to foreign governments? Does it store data locally? Does it permit any kind of control of the device?

It's easy to say certain apps are bad. It's hard to say why they are bad and address the root behavior. This is a case where taking the easy road has obvious unintended future consequences. Taking the hard road helps every citizen of this country, and not just with apps controlled by foreign governments.

We need data security and privacy legislation. We do not need creeping totalitarianism. It's easy to see which road goes where.
