Silicon valley tech companies extend US law worldwide. I know of no case of a US tech company allowing on its platform anything illegal in the US, but legal in another country.
Those same platforms project US culture and norms, eventually giving the US government indirect control of the policy of a target country. For example, gay marriage and acceptance of smoking weed have both spread to much of the world via US influence, primarily exerted over the internet.
