HONG KONG—A former executive at ByteDance, the Chinese company which owns the short-video app TikTok, says in a legal filing that some members of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used data held by the company to identify and locate protesters in Hong Kong.
Yintao Yu, formerly head of engineering for ByteDance in the United States, says those same people had access to U.S. user data, an accusation that the company denies.
