You may have noticed that the US media was comparably silent about US agencies. German media is relatively silent on German involvement (but reported on the US and France). That's just what the media needs to do to keep getting interviews with high ranking politicians. I doubt that the approach is to try to hurt the US, but to limit the impact on domestic relations to public officials. As for Facebook, that's one of the things that users _can_ do something about (however little the impact of such action is). If there were a French Facebook, the same could apply there as well - but besides Daily Motion (which is public by default), what is there in France where people could adapt their behavior?
