ByteDance Terminates Four Employees for Accessing TikTok Data of US Journalists

In October, Forbes reported that members of ByteDance’s Internal Audit and Risk Control department planned to use TikTok to track the locations of specific US citizens. ByteDance refuted these claims, but the report is consistent with the results of the internal investigation. The company has restructured the Internal Audit and Risk Control department and has prevented it from accessing any US data.
