At least four employees involved in monitoring employee conduct used data gathered from apps in the United States to track journalists in an attempt to determine the identity of specific leakers, according to the results of an internal investigation released on Thursday.
The employees involved gained access to the IP address and other data relating to journalists from the Financial Times and BuzzFeed News, as well as a small number of people around them. The data were gathered in an attempt to determine if the people involved were in close proximity with any ByteDance employees."ByteDance used TikTok to track my location — and the locations of two of my colleagues — to try to find our sources," tweeted Forbes's Emily Baker-White.
"I was deeply disappointed when I was notified of the situation … and I'm sure you feel the same," ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo wrote in an internal email."The public trust that we have spent huge efforts building is going to be significantly undermined by the misconduct of a few individuals . … I believe this situation will serve as a lesson to us all."
