The political front to it all seems to be unsubstantiated and petty. I would be more interested in how the app stores monitor behaviour that violate data privacy laws and cross big ethical boundaries, it should begin with them for sure. There are different versions of apps depending on the country attached to your account, but it's hard to tell if that makes a difference in adhering to national laws.

My biggest concern would probably be the scenario where the admin realizes that if they were able to do this, they start using this as a hammer and seeing everything as a nail.
