As "TikTok refugees" flock to RedNote, a U.S. official says the Chinese app could be banned, too
With the U.S. ban on TikTok looming, many Americans are opting for another Chinese app known as RedNote. It could be short-lived.

Quality fucking journalism right here folks! Not sure how many of you slogged all the way through the article to catch this nugget, but, well, I'll let it speak for itself:
RedNote is heavily censored
Content on RedNote appears to be much more heavily censored than posts on TikTok. A CBS News analysis found that any search for "Xi Jinping," China's autocratic president, on RedNote yielded no results whatsoever.
The term "Free Hong Kong" also brought back no results. A search for "Taiwan" will turn up several memes welcoming Americans to the platform, but noting that users must recognize the Beijing-imposed narrative that the democratically governed island just off China's coast, which the U.S. is legally bound to help defend from invasion, is an inseparable part of China.
A similar search for those terms on TikTok turns up a wide range of political opinions from users, including posts heavily critical of Chinese censorship.
LMFAO
Great Satan is an understatement. Not even propaganda, just fucking lying because they know burger brains will lap it all up
You can truly see colonialist thought in real time with this “migration” to Xiaohongshu
Just a bunch of Americans pissing their pants because they can’t be monsters on another country’s platform or talk about sensitive topics completely uncensored. There is something about Anglo-saxonism that is just inherently vulgar. I truly believe it’s western thought combined with capitalism that creates some of the most disgusting humans on earth
Seriously, it’s like a sort of digital exploration although the only thing they can say they’ve “found” is a space where you can’t post pictures of xi jinping as Winnie the Pooh without getting banned or find anything you want in English
any search for "Xi Jinping," China's autocratic president, on RedNote yielded no results whatsoever.
omg I'm dying. it's like the American journalist's brain cannot conceive that other languages exist
It's so hilarious these smooth brains are using english words to search topics on a primarily Chinese speaking platform and claiming they can't find anything.

Searching for AfricanStream on Instagram yielded no results either :(
laughable. i just tried it:
"xi jinping" no results
"习近平" plenty of posts about xi jinping
real thourough journalism here
Legally bound to help defend from invasion good Lord.
Those legal laws and binding laws were nowhere to be found regarding genocide though
how can China invade China? When the National Guard gets sent to disaster zones in the USA, is the federal government invading them? Fuck I hate western journalists so much
Weird. I wasn't even looking for it and came across a lot of historical images related to roc, GMD and chiang kaishek
The censorship double standard is wild.
Was it censorship when I caught a subreddit ban on worldnews because I pointed out that all the deaths in the HK riots were caused by rioters and that they burned an old man nearly to death?
Nah that was just site moderation right?
