SINGAPORE: TikTok chief executive officer Chew Shou Zi will have his remit expanded to include oversight of the sister app, Lemon8, according to tech website The Information.
TikTok has repeatedly denied that it has ever shared data with the Chinese government and has said the company would not do so if asked. A source told The Information that Lemon8 boss Stephanie Cheng will move to Singapore and report to Mr Chew. She previously reported to China-based ByteDance executive Alex Zhu.
Lemon8 was launched in the UK and the US in February last year. Unlike TikTok, the app does not support vertical video scrolling and its content is centred around trending lifestyle topics from fashion to beauty and travel.
