Uhh, it's not hypocrisy.
The US government demanded access to the US based social media companies to pull whatever sensitive information they wanted. They just don't want China to have the same access.
Also, TikTok has been caught abusing exploits to get additional information outside of the permissions granted by users. IIRC, TikTok was caught stealing the MAC address from phones a few years back.
It's odd the Steve Wozniak is pretending to be ignorant of the distinction. US government wants Intel, and doesn't want a rival nation to possess similar Intel. That's basic intelligence 101.
Or Russia, Iran, or North Korea.
