The DHS does that in the United States.
Every major social media and dating application has a law enforcement portal. This was documented in BlueLeaks.

Yes, in some cases. Grindr is the most obvious one.
Okay, that's because Grindr users choose to publicly share their current location; that's the point of the app. Governments having an API that lets them access data that users publicly share seems substantively different from governments having access to private information, obtaining that information by subverting internal controls at TikTok and ByteDance intended to keep it private. I think anyone not arguing for arguments sake would acknowledge that
