think of how much data they collect on US nationals every fucking day. important, sensitive information, like names and addresses, etc. think of the sheer size of petabytes worth of comms they have sitting on a server somewhere, or could potentially store on a server somewhere. it's a lot of data that someone could use to know a lot about end users, who are supposed to be private citizens. that information will be in saudi arabia's hands, not some private corporation, but their government. maybe it could be misused in some way.
there are good arguments against this line of reasoning, such as
>yeah but people already willingly give information away about themselves online
>even if that information is sensitive, most of it will probably be useless to a foreign government and may only pose a very small security risk
>the american government will still likely be able to have some influence on where such information goes, or at least be aware of who might be collecting it, so new privacy policies could be established that protect EA's end users
>etc.
otherwise, I don't know how else it could be a security concern, that's the only thing that comes to mind.
