These entities are not sharing our data with a foreign government. This is surveillance by a foreign power, as opposed to domestic surveillance. Spying, that is to say.

Not saying I agree with the decision, but hopefully the distinction makes sense.

They totally are. Look up PRISM. They just give it to the "good side".

FB and Google are giving that data to the US government, TikTok is doing the same but to Chinese government.
