RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users
Rumors swirl that RedNote may segregate Chinese users as soon as next week.

This is a hilarious turn of events.
I knew it was coming since that article yesterday about us Americans posting vids of 3D printed guns lmao
Luigi is now the most popular name for newborns in China.
Please let this be true 🤣
Lu Yi-Gee
Imo it's more sad than hilarious. US users and Chinese users meeting each other on the platform and discovering they are interesting people who actually have a lot in common sounds like what I'd wish the internet to be.
It's not surprising, and I get the irony, but I feel more sad than amused.
You know, the news about Chinese and American users comparing their worldviews seemed weird to me because it reads like this is the first time Chinese and American users have interacted and had the chance to talk "candidly".
My first thought was, "Why the fuck is this news? It's not like Chinese users can't interact on American platfor---"
...oh. Right. The great firewall.
Nearly everyone on rednote knows how to use a VPN.
I totally agree with you.
We shouldn't be cheering on segregation.
This was the turn of events anyone who knows anything about China and the CCP (and how closely they control businesses there) would have expected.
TikTok is banned in China, so why would anyone ever expect this would be different in this case?
They have Douyin (it's a carbon copy of tiktok). Rednote released a public statement welcoming US users, no evidence that what this article implies is being considered at all. The evidence is a reddit post. You are responding in agreement to a propaganda rag.
They blocked the TikTok domain in China. What would you call that, if not a ban?
You are naive if you believe they aren't going to sever the communities. That was always going to happen.
The only vibe I get from you is "15yo who just learned about politics".
AN: read this user's comment history lmao
Why don't you answer the question?
But TikTok is still banned by China.. Chinese people cannot sign up for TikTok and communicate with the outside world.
Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?
Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?
They are different like McDonald's and Burger King. While similar, Douyin is only available for people in China and it's heavenly censored and have a lot propaganda from Chinese government.
Proof?
What are you asking for exactly? You can't buy a whooper in McDonald's
The last portion of your comment. Curious if you had proof
Probably can't show you something that's censored and removed 😆
You can watch laowhy86 watching Douyin propaganda content https://youtu.be/3aYCG4vEe5s
Lmfao. Big true thank you for insight 💜💜
I've just heard that a lot but never really seen proof it happens.
No problem 😃 I did find this article from NYTimes, that explains douyin well. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/business/china-tiktok-douyin.html
