That's not exactly an amazing catch 22, though. It's very much not going to be obvious, especially to non-technical people, that their search on CB.org will be leaked out to TikTok and Facebook, with their IP address, which for plenty of people is already enough information to identify them fairly easily.
Merely hoping for the information to not be collected and abused isn't enough anymore. It needs to not be exposed in the first place.
