Najib told MACC of millions of ringgit kept as contingency after GE13 to prevent Sept 2008 Pakatan Rakyat takeover repeat, witness says in 1MDB trialIn the past few months, hundreds of ByteDance and TikTok engineers in both the US and China were ordered to begin separating millions of lines of code, sifting through the company’s algorithm that pairs users with videos to their liking.

TikTok and ByteDance have vowed to battle the US law in court on First Amendment grounds. Nevertheless, engineers continue to operate under orders to disentangle TikTok’s US recommendation engine from ByteDance’s broader network, the sources said.
