      I might consider agreeing with you, except the app is full of third-party spyware and for-profit tracking software that’s operated by foreign companies.

          The problem is that it’s at the office in the first place.

          It creates a massive hole in IT security and allows attack vectors to get into government networks and files.

          It’s like driving your brand new car into a busy part of town, leaving the keys in the ignition, leaving the door open, and stepping away for hours. And then doing it again the next day, and the day after that, even after each car has been stolen.

      The user is likely not the target of the spying. The white house is likely spying on other branches and agencies within the government.
