ByteDance is headquartered in China, a repressive country where they throw you in prison or worse if you don't obey the government. If the Communist Party told them to meddle with the algorithm to the advantage of China and harm of the USA, for example, they would have to obey, or else suffer the consequences.

The US has 4x as many prisoners per capita than China, and Assange is still in captivity.

Can we count "students" at "vocational education and training centers?"
