I'm a bit dismayed at the attempts at moral equivalence here.
An imperial, totalitarian regime which currently imprisons people for being of a specific ethnicity (or any arbitrary reason), and has no measure of a proper judicial system, tracking citizens of other nations for purposes of pursuing their power - is not the same thing as - Facebook making it possible for advertisers to target groups of people with 'interests'.
Meta can be fined for shenanigans (which FYI mostly do not cause direct harm), and of course - we need better regulations.
But the issue of TikTok is one of national (frankly international) security, and it's on an entirely different level.
