It definitely isn't illegal. Twitter is not owned by these countries it is just an account that caters to that specific audience. The only reason they don't change the logo then is because it would cut the profits/investments

Why do you think the laws only apply to the companies doing advertising if Twitter is owned by these countries? (one of which, probably the worst of which as well is the 2nd largest shareholder in Twitter by the way)

I can think of plenty of different laws that I could break in Norway, but not the US and that would get any large company up to billions in penalties from the Norwegian government and court orders that the companies would follow if they posted certain stuff focused on Norwegians.

It just seems that you have zero understanding of how the world works both outside the US and inside the US. There are also very likely things a French company could be publicizing on a platform hosted in France that would be completely legal in France while illegal in the US which would get them penalized in American courts if they tried to target the material on Americans.
