Venezuela, Iran and Syria do censor US media and it's far more extensive than any censorship of foreign media within the US.

They do censor american social media. Like china and north korea obviously do
It's bound to happen. See the political battles being fought for data localisation, and control of Internet governing bodies.
So you're equating the banning of accounts to the blocking of the majority of internet?
America will literally fuck with you if you start doing this at scale. India can ban Chinese app since India can do this. China needed to understand this before escalating the border tensions with India.
