While I agree Facebook is also bad, the Tiktok thing is entirely different, because the legal issue is sending Amarican citizens data out to China, which the users agreed to give to Tiktok, but the government doesn't want to be sent to China. The Facebook crime is secretly snooping without proper user consent.
Except TikTok is using oracle database in America
The point isn't what they initially store it on. The point is workers in China can access the data and download it or do whatever they want. See here, for example: https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ftc-investigation-china-data-e91e02db5c4f3f7d5836ecafedbf4714
