     3/ This story came out in several places, resulting in different counts.

     Pulling them together #tiktok had covert #surveillance targets at:

     -Financial Times
     -Buzzfeed
     -Forbes

     And some of their personal social graphs(?)

     2/ Apparently #tiktok was running a leak investigation.

     So they pulled location logs from multiple reporters.

     And those connected to them.

     To try to see if their movements intersected with employees.
