Controversies section

Resolved

I wonder whether the content in the Controversies section would be better suited as part of the "996 working hour system" article rather than here, since the RS have portrayed the incident as a reflection on Chinese tech work culture in general and not a reflection on ByteDance specifically. I'd love to hear what other editors think about this, as I do work for ByteDance and I want to make sure my thinking is correct here despite my conflict of interest.

SMcCandlish, do you have an opinion on this? Regardless, I think all can agree that having a "Controversies" section (again!) is not ideal, per WP:CSECTION. Thanks, JatBD (talk) 11:13, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

I lean toward agreeing that it should merge out to the 996 article, but there may be other source material that focuses more on BD. CSECTION is correct that a section just called "Controversies" is probably a poor idea.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

@SMcCandlish: I haven't found other RS that refer to ByteDance specifically when describing the "takeaway" from the incident, though I would encourage you or other editors to double check this. If no one else objects, would you mind performing the proposed WP:Section move? Thanks again, JatBD (talk) 21:06, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Here's what I found: a CNBC article from May 2021 reporting that some workers were turned off by the "996" work culture at ByteDance. But then in November 2021, ByteDance moved away from 996 and mandated shorter working hours. So I agree it seems misleading to highlight this as ByteDance-specific controversy.

Recent changes

I have simplified many paragraphs where the content is better covered in linked articles. This reduces the chance that information diverges. Mass surveillance in China is not supported at least not by the sources so far. There was an edit that mentioned "political dissidents" but I cannot find any RS for it in the context of the tracking incident of Cristina Criddle and Emily Baker-White.

No source was provided for adding it back into the article again. CurryCity (talk) 18:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Amigao, provide a source without the ASPI report saying ByteDance works with CCP to censor Xinjiang topics. CurryCity (talk) 01:14, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Added a few more cites for that and changed the wording to "Chinese government" since it is subject to state entities such as CAC and MSS. Semantics to some, perhaps. Amigao (talk) 02:03, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Only ASPI accuses the company directly of collaboration. CurryCity (talk) 03:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
