Similar apps generally aren't straight pipelines to a government's intelligence services.What do you think China is gonna use this information for?
American apps, sites, and corporations have been doing this for years. I can’t piece together why it’s a national security issue now.
I don't think it's about kids and regular folks using the app, provided they're not dissidents the Chinese government looks to monitor.
Think more along the lines of government officials using the app or employees at high profile companies in tech/defense industries.
