A former ByteDance employee alleged the CCP used a 'God credential' backdoor to access TikTok user data at will, including monitoring Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters in 2018. Leaked audio from 80 internal TikTok meetings (BuzzFeed, June 2022) revealed Chinese employees 'repeatedly accessed non-public data about US TikTok users,' with one engineer stating 'Everything is seen in China.' TikTok's CEO admitted Chinese employees could access US user data. Chinese law compels ByteDance to turn over data if requested.

“TikTok is a data collection tool for the Chinese government. Chinese engineers can access everything — your data, your location, your messages — and the CCP has a master key.”
