It is because Facebook has lots of money and users just like TikTok today, but Facebook was the biggest at the time when they got fined in the billions.
If the FTC is getting upset at Facebook over privacy issues, then they should equally apply this to all social networks, especially TikTok which is just as equally as bad if not worse today and should also be fined in the multi-billions of dollars if the are to continue to operate in the US with a worse track record of privacy violations.

A massive multi-billion dollar fine for TikTok is much better than a total ban.
