I hate the amount of data American social media companies collect and what they do with it

I REALLY hate having Chinese or Russian or [Insert Authoritarian Hostile Country] doing it.

American companies do it for the pursuit of profits, Companies from these countries are doing it to topple our government or whatever.

Something something the devil you know...

It's profitable for the companies to sell it to the government... Basically just adds a step to the government getting it

What if it becomes profitable to overthrow the government?

Then you have the failed “Business Plot” of the 30’s meant to overthrow FDR

this but the opposite, Chinese social media companies are taking my data for profit, American social media is doing it to topple the US government (also for profit)
