> unencumbered access to their respective digital markets

I wonder about this. Up until recently dominant networks were US native or backed by US companies (e.g. even Spotify for instance has a US office, is traded on the NY exchange and is backed by US cloud services) so we haven't seen what happens when a sheer foreign company gets a foothold in the market. Until Tiktok.

And as Tiktok is getting banned, I get the feeling any other foreign company reaching a dominant position with no US transparency would get the same treatment under national security or any other pretense, with US politicians opining that citizen data getting sucked away isn't acceptable. Especially as the foreign compnay's money doesn't land in their party's pockets the same Meta's or Alphabet's money does.
