I see the same oversimplification on big tech, esp in social media all the time. For instance when governments censor twitter or whatever social site, it has wide ramification on its citizens. Some users rely on these so-called American platforms to access health, educative, social and other public information services.
I also see this argument all the time. "If you don't like the ToS of service X, don't use it" ... Not when the official government account provides updates/figures on the same platform.
How are some of these services not global? E.g youtube being an unmatched video content resource with no competitor in close sight. I shudder to even think of regions where the tube is locked/unavailable, to me, not having this resource is unfathomable.
This just illustrates some of the complexities of how big and global some of these big tech products have become.
