SAN FRANCISCO: A former US-based executive of ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, has sued it for wrongful dismissal, saying he was fired for sounding the alarm over what he called its"culture of lawlessness".
Critics say the popular platform allows Beijing to covertly collect users' data and influence their opinions – something the company denies. Yu, who was ByteDance's US head of engineering, says he notified company leaders about the problem, but the"intellectual property infringement continued unabated".On Friday, Yu submitted an amendment to his original complaint, which was filed May 1, accusing ByteDance of serving"as a useful propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist Party".
Yu said that Chinese government officials had a unit in the US office which"maintained supreme access to all the company data, even data stored in the United States."
