A U.S.-based employee of ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, told an undercover Project Veritas journalist that he is sure a lot of TikTok’s coding is “very beneficial to China,” and said the Washington, D.C. team works “directly with the FBI” to “take down” people like Andrew Tate.
After the Project Veritas journalist asked TikTok content monitor Bruce Sapp why he thinks the U.S. government wants to ban TikTok from government officials’ devices, the ByteDance employee said, “If I had to guess, it’s because I’m sure a lot of the coding is still very beneficial to China.”
