No it doesn't de facto because the biggest (by user count) internet services are based and operated from USA, e.g. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Ebay, Youtube, Twitter, Uber etc. And it probably will not change in the future. So keeping current situation is good for USA and bad for everyone else.
It is better to have local services so the money and personal data don't go overseas and help local economy. The current situation is obviously wrong. There are customs duties that protect local companies and there is nothing to protect them in the internet. So we have USA taking over this new market. This should be changed.
China is an example of a country that has their own search engine, blogging platforms, video sharing sites and most of people prefer them over USA based websites.
> just completely sold out their citizen's privacy to a whole bunch foreign nations including a communist dictatorship.
No they did not because nobody uses services from those countries.
