Most of their servers aren't outside the US, though. The majority (not plurality, the majority) of datacenters are here.

Twitter has already banned political advertising, and Reddit simply doesn't have the audience that Facebook does (and being a pseudonymous platform is a different paradigm).

Except, the vast majority of Facebook's servers aren't in Ireland. They couldn't be for the platform to work. There is a datacenter in Ireland, but there are 11 datacenters in the US. I guarantee the majority of data and compute power is in those US datacenters.
