But this would make Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and all the other big US tech business illegal…
Nobody (in the US) wants this obviously.
Btw, the EU isn't anything better in this regard: We would like to forbid other countries to spy on us, but the EU authorities "need to have" the possibility "because terrorism, child abuse, and other 'harmful content' & 'disinformation'". (Just see the fresh Digital Services & Digital Markets acts).
Same surveillance everywhere. Only it's "OK" when done by "us", the "good ones", but not "the others", because they're the evil "bad ones"; of course.
