Wow, no. This is not it.
Facebook is not interested in influencing the outcomes of elections, and the US Gov is not using FB to do so directly - other than to ban egregious misinformation and to allow any legit actor to participate.
WeChat/TikTok are organs of the state - they can and are used at will by CCP organs for censorship, control, monitoring etc. - for any reason, at any time, at any whim.
The moral equivalence arguments being made are simply out of touch with the operational realities of companies in the China vs. US/Europe etc..
