Well, yeah, kinda. More than kinda even.
Facebook already stole a lot of TikTok's essence [0]; quite successfully too.
And, TikTok is being targeted by Congress, rather clearly because young people are learning too much about Israel's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing on there [1].
If you consider that Facebook is basically a spy machine for US intelligence [2] and has been for a long time, this can be seen as the US eliminating/buying the competition for them by the power of government seizure.
