Why would any global app show an American national political campaign to all their users?

In reality I'm mostly sad that the campaign is purely USA ("contact your rep" - I don't have a "rep", it doesn't work that way here), but if I see it on any app that knows where I'm located, I'll know that the owners' world ends at their country borders and that I'm a second class user.

Because it affects them, too, and they have a right to know what the risks are, even if they can't do anything to help very directly.
