Who Owns the Social Media Accounts Used by Employees for Work?

When an employee uses social media accounts such as WeChat and TikTok for work purposes, do these accounts belong to the employee or the company upon resignation? If, at the time of employment, both parties agreed that these social media accounts belong to the company, and the company requested the employee to create them, with the primary use being for company business, then the company may demand the return of these accounts when the employee resigns.
