PANews reported on January 16 that it is now possible to see a large number of user videos on Douyin whose IP locations are shown as the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Thailand, etc. In response, Li Liang, vice president of Douyin Group, said in a statement that having an overseas IP does not mean that the user is registered overseas. "In addition, we found that many people also took advantage of this wave to fish in troubled waters, reposting videos and impersonating foreign users, especially some black industry gangs who wanted to take the opportunity to increase their followers and raise accounts. It is difficult to identify these accounts. We have been actively managing them in the past few days and have dealt with more than 10,000 accounts impersonating foreign users."
