India banned TikTok a few years ago. Brazil banned X until it agreed to take down posts in violation of Brazilian law. The European Union fines US-based tech companies frequently.

"Entitlement" in the context of nations is irrelevant. Nations exercise power in accordance with their interests.

The latter two, in theory, apply to local companies too. The TikTok bans specifically apply to “foreign adversaries”.

Domestic adversaries don't own any companies, for obvious reasons.
