Primarily that they're US profits, they're simply stealing TicToc so TicToc's profits will be US profits.

Eloon and Suckerborg will be rubbing their hands together as a competitor is ousted.

We all know that is the excuse they will use to ban TikTok. Everyone knows the real reason they want it banned. And it's not because of the Chinese. Why aren't they banning cell phones and other items made in China that can spy on Americans?

And Congress and the senate members are invested in meta stocks

Spot on. The hypocrisy is so glaring that if it was an actual light it would have burned out by retinas.

How long until the enshitification causes problems here?

Opens up the way for the EU to go on Twitter and Facebook, the sooner they take it the better.

But they collect more data from Shein and Temu, this has nothing to do with data

I switched off twitX and Facebook (pusjotter)
If you want billionaires to “suffer” switch them off
Close them down
Don’t give them the very thing they crave
Having money does not make you important

You've seen what happened with Romanian elections because of TikTok.
The platform deserves to be banned everywhere.
That's not to say that X and Facebook are in an acceptable state. The EU needs to regulate both, and ideally subsidize domestic platforms into existence, because we can't trust the US.
