Reuters exclusively reports ByteDance censored anti-China content in Indonesia until mid-2020

Reuters exclusively reported Chinese tech giant ByteDance has censored content it perceived as critical of the Chinese government on its news aggregator app in Indonesia from 2018 to mid-2020. The news comes after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to shut down ByteDance’s short-video app TikTok – widely popular in the U.S., Indonesia and other countries – on national security grounds unless it is sold to a U.S. company.
