The invasion of privacy is bad regardless of who does it though. This bill isn't about protecting consumer privacy. It's about sticking it to the CCP. Alphabet should also be considered a company that needlessly invades the privacy of it's users and laws should be made to protect those users. Just because tik tok is worse doesn't mean any company doing this isn't bad.
I'll also say that YouTube shorts views pay more than tik tok views for established creators, by a significant margin. I would rather creators I enjoy get paid decently. Not that YouTube doesn't have a lot of problems and anti-creator policies of its own. But $.04 per 1K views is a lot worse than $18.00 per 1K views.
