US companies don’t operate as an extension of the US or the intelligence community like they do inside China. Sure, sometimes US companies will sell commercial data, but it isn’t something that they are forced into, like in other countries. The US also doesn’t have laws requiring companies to assist in intelligence collection. Even FISA courts have a process and follow specific legal procedures, which have been fought successfully when those requests are overly vague. We also have laws protecting US citizens from our intelligence agencies acting within the country, unless for counter intelligence or anti terrorism, which are done by domestic law enforcement.
