Yes, and that's why US companies aren't banned by the US. The foreign power having so much propaganda power was the danger.

So if an American company collects user data and sells it on the open market to a hostile foreign nation, and accepts money to run propaganda, that’s A-OK?

That capitalism baby! I suppose Congress can at least control who Facebook et al. are selling to through sanctions and such.

They could but they haven’t, so this ban is just racist economic protectionism.

I'm not sure what race has to do with economic protectionism, but it's really a combination of all of the above.

If I wanna get my propaganda from more than one world power, that's my right under the first amendment. Or it was.
