The Great Firewall is unequivocally authoritarian
Like the tooth fairy, there's no such thing as "authoritarianism", but even if there was, you'd have a difficult time making the case that allowing the US surveillance state to operate within your borders, is "anti-authoritarian".
The US is more likely than any other country to harm you psychologically (or physically), coup your government, misinform you, or push far-right propaganda, all based on the information they gain about you and your peers through their spying platforms. India's most popular social network for example, is Facebook, meaning the US controls nearly the entire social media and information landscape of a country many times larger than itself.
