In my experience, most things about TikTok are purely cosmetic. (Except when that kid broke into the water park during the pandemic and skated down the water slide.)

That being said, the best way to have a company create real data silos is to just wait. Maybe the CIA can recruit the world’s most incompetent middle managers and have them apply to ByteDance jobs but it’ll happen eventually anyway. Probably not worth the effort.
