Nice try bro, but US symmetrically responds to the hostile actions of authoritarian governments. If those authoritarian governments wouldn't be desperately trying to destroy the free world, no one would care of their silly apps.

Facebook played its role in spreading of so called Arab spring in 2011 [0]. Now look how Middle East is doing now, more than 10 years later. That's some destruction for you.

This too is just letting flow?

I don't know, but you may have noticed that Facebook haven't been allowing free flow of information since a long time ago. Same for pre-Elon Twitter.
