I live in a country that is not USA. Why should we allow a company led by CIA agents to operate in our country?

You should not. But if it makes you feel any better, Americans do the same thing by allowing Chinese tech like Zoom and TikTok operate in their country.

To have access to American tech.

Simply turning off Google/Apple/Amazon/Facebook will have massive repercussions throughout that countries economy and politics and put that country at a competitive disadvantage on a world stage.

Yes, this is partially true. turning off Google/Apple/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft will break stuff. this big five entrenched themselves in IT maybe too much in every possible way.

Also I don't believe country without big tech five will be at much disadvantage. They will be forced to build their own substitutes if they see need for it.

Tell that to China, they seem to be doing fine without Google/Amazon/Facebook.

Of those companies, Google is probably the only one you can't remove without effort.

But this article was about Facebook. Why should we allow Facebook to operate on our country given that they hire from the CIA?
