It is obvious that they want the other (US-based) companies to be able to continue collecting that data so they can gain access to it if they want/need it. It's bullshit, but it's clearly what they want.
But that being bullshit does not mean that they are wrong in not wanting the one that is under the control of a foreign adversary having access to that data. Two separate things.
And the US social media companies are filled with spooks.
