Russia& #39;s intelligence services don& #39;t benefit from America& #39;s Constitutional press freedoms.

China& #39;s MSS doesn& #39;t get the right to distribute surveillance malware.

Nobody is banning the right to use computers to communicate - just the proliferation of spyware by a hostile nation.
Trump& #39;s "move" to ban the app is an act to obscure actual American national security professionals doing the same thing for the right reasons, by the looks of it.

No more Wikileaks-style propaganda, please. Foreign spy services don& #39;t have "rights" in America.
