You forgot to add /s!

As a foreigner, It would be near impossible for one company to ask every govt in that world to make this happen (with current political weather conditions).

HN people will always find someway to connect this to their most hated companies (be it Meta, Google, Microsoft)

That might be because the biggest tech companies have the most skin in the game where legislation is concerned. Money and lobbying is essential if you want the market share and the market hold that they have. Doesn’t matter their political stance towards the US anymore when they companies are willing to compromise and host data centers within any govt’s jurisidction.

Meta is definitely lobbying in Canada, I don't know why you think this is so far fetched.

Near impossible? No, meta is frequently making themselves part of conversation on various regulations in the country.
