With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘RedNote’
www.wired.com
Some say they joined Xiaohongshu, which translates to “little red book,” to spite the US government after a ban on TikTok became more likely.

American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning “Little Red Book”) and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

    Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.

    The other one has to cross international borders.

    Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.

    If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.
