If the pattern tells you anything, US companies will comply.
The major notable case of non compliance has been Google not entering China, which I argue has been more to do with internal activism than the company's preferences. Would also say that it is harder to leave a country once you're in it than not entering in the first place, so I think Google might not have left China if that were the case.
Apple happily conducts business in China and I am absolutely certain allows backdoor access to the Chinese Government. Arguably, the US getting backdoor access is almost as bad so we should already be up in arms about this, but I don't see a protest anywhere.
Hope the new privacy and decentralization wave makes it very hard to spy on people.

What you claim seems funny since so many Israeli Jews were once morrocan and remember Morocco warmly.

Really? Those are all just buzzwords? Do you really believe that?
Say Israel makes a law that Arab citizens should be tracked through a digital symbol to identify that they are of the non-Jewish subset of the population — should US companies comply? And I specifically choose Israel because it has a history of discrimination against its Arab population.
