if China has US consumer's data they can do very little harm as they lack enforcement. So its not a big deal to use Chinese owned social media app.
US however, if it has data on US users, has all the means to cause harm to US users, starting from censorship and persecution.
UK and Germany for example are jailing people for social media posts

If your 'opinion' consists of demonstrably wrong accusations to individuals and other proven lies, it is not political speech. Why do you insist on lies being political speech? You can hat your government without lies, I do dislike mine and have no need for lies when talking about it.
This is such a slippery slope. If I post on my social media that I hate my government and its policies - it should be protected as political speech.
You cannot jail people for their thoughts. Unless a person is physically present in public and is inciting violence in person, they do not violate anything
That seems decidedly short sighted to trust your enemy more because your own governments also do harm.
