Yes, you're right. But they also still do not localize personal data of Russians in Russia and have been fined for it.
PS. I don't see much difference between the reasons for the ban, because the result is the same. Users cannot visit these sites without a VPN.

Services that spend billions on testing scaling solutions and open sourcing their infrastructure is definitely a good thing. You're going to find a million times worse outside these players.
I don't understand why its such a shock GDPR isn't brand new and these companies should have adapted as we've all had to
You have zero ways to know this. The company's often have gag orders when served with warrants and other orders. Revealing LEA requests is rare and I don't even know if Google still does it annually.
When the suits come knocking, generally you need to let them do their thing and then argue in court to stop or throw out the results.
The U.S. should send a DMCA notice to Russia for Patriot Act copyright violations. Super meta.
For the first time in his life, Elon Musk pulls out. Twitter RIP
I think the law of the land is not copyrightable.
Warrant canaries are thing.
And, if you're too big for that to be effective, you do this instead.
We also have the record which companies have resisted government intrusion by taking it to court.
Not perfect. But better than a situation where all companies have to bend over for the government as a condition of even doing business.
Very few do it and fewer properly maintain it. It's also still widely advised by lawyers that they can still violate the gag order (judges care about the result and get mad at attempted loopholes as contempt).
Not all of these are Public record.
Hmm? Being compliant with the laws/warrants/orders has always been the way it is and not "bend over for the government", like Meg Whitman at HP who did things without orders to be a good citizen, in her opinion.
I have to admit that I will not miss them. From my perspective these platforms are not leading humanity to any desirable direction, in fact they are doing the opposite.
Imagine life without Instagram and Facebook.
I think it would not be bad at all. But, it's not going to happen.
Don't you think that the People(not all,but most of them) can really make choice by themselves? No! These big firms control all of resources to control your mind. Your hobbies,your privacy,your mind are under control. You are waht they want you to be,by giving you shit content that you are already addicted to.
So what's your argument? The people can't think for themselves, so it's better to have the chinese government control their minds than the big firms?
Winnie is proud of you.
Seriously we are talking about big firms and government surveillance.Why change the point to " it's better to have the Chinese government control their minds than big firms"?This is your ridiculous logic.You can make fun of me，I don't care. but I see your terrible ignorance.Go on with Facebook and Instagram, don't forget PRISM.Hope you everything well.
You're saying people can't think for themselves. This means someone else needs to control their minds because they can't make their own decisions. So, tell me who is best to tell them what to do?
I know you're a Winnie cheerleader so stop hiding that baton. Winnie knows best, right?
So what?I am a Winneie cheerleader.Hope this will make you feel better.
That's my point: there is a world of difference between forcing the government to be accountable and doing everything you can to make their activity transparent and just giving up info to the government or other cooperating in surveillance when you don't have to. The former is still possible in the US, even if not all companies choose that path.
Sadly, US companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google are losing their way on this more and more every year. I still trust some of them to mostly do the right thing for their US customers, but they've already thrown their Chinese customers under the bus.
No, my point was to point out your attempt to confuse the issue by saying:
when in fact, you love government surveillance as long as Winnie is in charge.
That's nothing to a company of that size and the ROI will definitely be worth it. More DCs to be built in EU, they even could start their own cloud offering.
