A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Every company in China has to surrender their data to China
ByteDance is corporated in the Cayman Islands
Bytedance is headquartered in Beijing, and the chinese version of the app, Douyin, is owned by Beijing Microlive Vision Technology Co., Ltd.
The place of the headquarter doesn't necessarily reflecht the juristiction. And they developed both Douyin and Tiktok (it is the same app).
It's not about jurisdiction though, it's about the Chinese government's rules controlling businesses that operate from within their country. You can't really headquarter there and then tell them you don't want to play ball.
Agreed that it's the same app, that's kind of my point regarding the Beijing-based company that owns Douyin.
