The Beijing-based firm has denied Chinese Communist Party members were allowed to access user data.

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

In the filing, Mr Yu claimed that members of a CCP committee had access to a "superuser" credential, which was also known as "god user", which allowed them to view all data collected by ByteDance. The filing also alleged that in 2018 the CCP committee members used their "god credential" to "identify and locate the Hong Kong protesters, civil rights activists, and supporters of the protests".
