It is pathetic to see my fellow Americans giving up freedom for “national security” - as the adage goes, they deserve neither.

This is hardly giving up freedom. It is literally the job of the government to be an interface between America and the rest of the world and it is within their purview to deem chinese companies that can collect data on americans a security risk.
