No that’s ByteDance’s direct ties. TikTok would be indirect. My intention is to get to the bottom of this but it’s constantly just unsourced accusations and conflations. Not to mention excuse after excuse for why we can’t just pass an American GDPR. Instead we have to instigate Red Scare 2.0 which is totally not sus.

ByteDance is not just an indirect tie between TickTock and China, former employees have testified that the TikTok services are centralized in China. The offices in the USA operate like a shell company.

No they haven’t. They said they sent head count and engagement data. That’s it.
