TikTok's former head of security and engineering expressed concerns about the parent company's control over US TikTok staffers' messaging and tech management software.
Former employees cast doubts on the effectiveness of TikTok's US Data Security team and revealed that US staffers often used ByteDance-developed communication tools hosted in China.
The allegations challenge TikTok's claims of keeping US user data separate, raising questions about the security of over 170 million American users.
Efforts to sequester data included using internal messaging system Lark hosted with USDS in Virginia, which was found inefficient, leading to the use of ByteDance-developed Feishu.
