Noone is saying that. The argument is pretty much that people want more scrutiny applied to other companies beyond tiktok, and ideally not be under constant surveillance by any of them, not that people want to be monitored by all police states equally.

It's a whataboutist cop out. People who like tiktok just wanna point out how supposedly since tiktok was targeted, then it's all in bad faith and therefore there could never possibly be a legit concern with tiktok in particular. Any argument to be addressed with "ChInA bAd"
