They didn't want to comply with laws requiring giving the Chinese government full access to their data.

It really doesn't matter. We can say that it's good that companies like Google or Facebook don't want to be part in any of this or we can say that even the slightest interest in user privacy makes it morally impossible for companies to operate in China. What's simply not true is the idea that Google or Facebook not being in China has anything to do with them being American companies.

Well I mean the US kinda does that too. That's why Schrems II was able to invalidate EU-US Privacy Shield.
