Tik-Tok and an Anti-virus program have pretty different privilege levels I would think. And generally one doesn't install Tik-Tok on servers in the data center, but I guess I could be surprised.

But remember, the US governments job is to protect the US, not Myanmar. And Facebook is within the legal jurisdiction of US officials.
