This is not whataboutism - it's looking at the bigger picture. The point is that you should want to prevent all mass surveillance by social media companies. Not force them to sell so that the government can get its greedy paws on the data.

The government can already access the data with a warrant. The ownership of TikTok has literally 0 effect on the government's ability to access user data. Not being owned by the Chinese government has a huge impact on China's ability to access that data.
