So they have no idea what is or isn't actually in this agreement, but sounds like they've asked for data access and audit capabilities to ensure US user data is separated and not sent where it shouldn't be.
This honestly seems reasonable. It's a foreign app from a country that has banned every American tech app, data is only flowing one way and that's concerning.
But honestly without knowing what's actually in there this article is pretty pointless. Just more unverified fearmongering clickbait.
