Not at all. It's my way of saying that the US government would not bother forbidding the transaction.

Further, did the US protest when China ordered Google out of the country in 2008? (And Facebook, but it wasn't nearly as large then.) No.

Ok I see what you mean now. Google left voluntarily because China refused to let Google be a backdoor for US propaganda and surveillance. (exactly what tiktoc is accused of) and yes, the US protested loudly at the time.
