前员工诉TikTok

\> … alleges ByteDance granted special powers to members of a unit of the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, inside the company, referred to as the “Committee.”

\> The complaint alleges the “Committee continued to have access” to US user data even after ByteDance walled off access for individual engineers in China.

\> The complaint alleges ByteDance “was aware that if the Chinese government’s backdoor was removed from the international/U.S. version of the app, the Chinese government would, it feared, ban the company’s valuable Chinese-version apps.”

\> “Mr. Yu observed a culture of lawlessness within the company,” the suit says. “This ByteDance culture focused on growth at all costs. The attitude was to violate the law first, continue to grow, and pay fines later.”
