I think we all agree that they shouldn't do this to American citizens. The problem is we can't isolate their capabilities to just foreign persons.

As a "foreign person", I'd rather like for no organization to come and record everything I do just because I wasn't born in a specific place.
Ironically though, the average American citizen is probably under more CIA surveillance than the average foreign person such as myself.

I'd rather we didn't either. If we trust you enough to let you visit, work, whatever, then we should treat you respectfully.

We could make doing this illegal and enforce it…

Unfortunately, other nation states might not care about US laws. Which returns to the above statement that it’s better for the CIA and Apple to be in a security arms war than it is for Apple and the FSB, at least from the perspective of an American.
> But somethings like breaking encryption, exploiting iPhones, etc. while they may be used against Americans can also be used against others.
Both of these can have a chilling effect on free speech, therefore I'm against the CIA doing this to citizens. The potential threat against citizens nowhere near outweighs the need to uphold our constitution.
