I guess the idea is that each country or region has its own Google, Facebook or Amazon - Not that it all belongs to the US government.
I would also argue that they are US companies first and global companies second. Their main focus is always USA and their spirit is also very American for the good and the bad. Strategy for the rest of the world is made in the USA. All important decision are made in the USA. Most investments are made in the USA and also the profits go to the USA.
This is nor good or bad but the point is that those are not global companies.
- naibafo 9y agoAccording to [1] 75% of Facebook Users are located outside the US. And According to [2] India has more Facebook Users than the US. The statistics differ somehow, though they both should be current, but the point remains: Facebook is very much a global company. I am sure that you can find similar statistics for Google or Amazon.

- mmmnt 9y agoI didn't say that their audience is not outside of the USA. Feel free to re-read what I wrote. Think about it like that. BMW sells most of their cars outside of Germany but still is a German company that operates world wide. And this is very true for most big companies today.
