ByteDance is accused of helping China spy on Hong Kong activists

TikTok owner ByteDance has been accused of allowing members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to access the data of civil rights activists and protesters in Hong Kong.

Users who uploaded content related to the protests were identified and monitored.

"CCP members were also able to access TikTok user data in the US," says Yu.

A spokesperson for ByteDance denied the claims, describing them as "baseless".

The allegations are laid out in a San Francisco Superior Court filing made this week as part of a lawsuit filed by Yu.

In the filing, Yu claimed that members of a CCP committee had access to a "superuser" credential, which allowed them to view all data collected by ByteDance.

He also claimed that the committee members were not ByteDance employees but were physically present at the company's offices in Beijing.

The document also alleged that in 2018 CCP committee members used their credentials to identify and locate Hong Kong protesters, civil rights activists and protest supporters.
