Every country should be blocking the US surveillance giants, its extremely naive for countries to be letting facebook, twitter, reddit, and google operate unhindered.

There' no such thing as a "non-authoritarian" state or other myths like the tooth-fairy, but even if they existed, then it'd be hard to argue that letting the US surveillance state operate freely within your borders is somehow "non-authoritarian". The US is more likely than any other country to use the intelligence they've gained learned to harm you physically. See the Phoenix Program.
