Whenever you operate on the global scale and you have this much influence, it is almost expected that such entity is infested with governmental agents, it would be stupid for not doing it if you care about security of your country

However, the problem whenever one question this publicly, and the consequences/side effects, you get flagged as some sort of conspiracy theorist, which is unfortunate

They can do a lot of harm to favor their national giants over foreign ones, i'm pretty sure that's how Azure was able to penetrate in the EU despite having OVH

Maybe the reason why google favors instagram over tiktok, who knows at this point

At this point, it's pretty silly that it is still considered "conspiracy theory" to aver that intelligence agencies have placed agents in major corporations throughout the world. Even mainstream limited hangout-type sources have started to acknowledge this. They discuss it on that Wind of Change podcast about the theory that the CIA wrote the Scorpions' song.

Or, to be more precise, it's silly that it is considered "conspiracy theory" in the way most people use the concept, as coterminous with "a false idea."
