Internet social networks do not allow their content to be crawled and indexed but if Google is negotiating with Instagram and TikTok to do it then good.
I had another solution to this problem and that is to crawl and index social media content that is shared on websites via web content embeddings(iframes) and then make it searchable. This way social media content(photos,videos etc.) that is shared by journalists and bloggers on websites and blogs would be searchable. It is not complete index but it is a good start. There is no way to search all Instagram photos or TikTok videos unless they allow it.
Tbh I don't believe Instagram and TikTok will make all photos and videos searchable because there are billions of photos and videos to be indexed and searched, it would give Google too much leverage and power.
