They're owned by a Chinese company so the Chinese govt has this information. I'm not saying it's a good reason to ban it, or that there isn't another secret reason, or that American companies don't gather the same information. This was the problem all along - China receiving vast amounts of information about Americans. Actually the US was probably worried about China spreading their viewpoints, now that I think more about it. IDK

They track the location of people in the US and gather large amounts of data. They didn't get banned for refusing to spread US propaganda.
