The problem is the US doesn't have a monopoly on imperialism anymore and is not the only country pursuing questionable practices with respect to technology. A lot of critics of US policy changes on topics like this one have their own set of blinders on when it comes to this fact. You end up seeing a weird kind of cognitive dissonance in comments as a result.

It's generally best to avoid this trap by either talking about what the likely end results will be (fragmented web ecosystems bounded by per-country restrictions) or to talk in country-neutral objectives (no country should allow massive data collection and privacy breaches in apps, regardless of their place of origin).
