I don't think someone accessing content on US servers run by a US company counts as "operating in" any country other than the US.
But Meta is an international company, so maybe they have servers/staff in Saudi Arabia, in which case their only options are to leave the country or comply.
operating here is the buying and selling of ads
I'd argue doing business with a foreigner doesn't constitute "operating in" that person's country if you never set foot there. They came to you, not the other way around.
