Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
I doubt its that deep. Its probably as simple as him realizing that a lot of young Trump fans spread his bs using Tik Tok pretty successfully, and he likes his ego being stroked.
Anything apart from ego with that man is just noise.
Seriously I just thought he found a way he could profit from TikTok? National security isn't really a top priority concern for the incoming administration
Go find the person on here telling me how the fentanyl crisis in America is China’s fault. Apparently everything that is wrong with the U.S. is all coming from China. Next it will be assault rifles. School shootings definitely caused by China. One thing I have found on Rednote, is that Chinese people aren’t constantly being rage-baited by their society.
I won't go back to TT if its bought out. I'd rather pay for a VPN in order to connect with outside comrades.
Yeah he definitely got the buy in for his buddies here. I’m sure meta and/or musk will announce a purchase if a large percentage and the content will be cracked down on. The TikTok we all knew is dead and gone
A shuttered TT is worthless to his billionaire enablers who are looking to strip the service to the bones in order to selfishly prop up their own, less popular, apps. 90 days gives them time to negotiate a buyout and disposition of assets. It's crony, vulture capitalism.
I don't really think it's that deep. Trump has a long track record about being pretty anti China and it's one of the few points he's been entirely consistent on. I'm of the opinion he's pro tik tok because it's benefitting him in some way, shape or form.
Biden gave him a golden gift to be the hero and save tic tock
But will he? The same people that were behind the tic tock ban and spent millions on propaganda and lobbying also gave him a lot of money. And he has to hate that people are able to communicate a lot freely.
So what will he do? Put a 90 day extension so someone will buy it? And will it be another Elon musk type who will ruin it?
Or just time untill bluesky can put something out so even if it is a musk type people still have options.
I’d almost say that Biden screwed him on day one putting it in his lap
Trump has repeatedly said China outperforms U.S in both Technology and education. Its his whole schtick when he talks about reforming the education system.
Also Bytedance has repeatedly said they are not selling their algo.
Yup. This push do ban TikTok was an epic fuck up by our government. I already heard some noise about banning Rednote. So now what? Are they gonna play a ridiculous game of whack-a-mole with Chinese apps?
I'm Chinese. The lives of Chinese people are not as good as shown on Xiaohongshu If you are a blogger on Xiaohongshu, and you interview ordinary people in ordinary counties about their daily lives and daily expenses, your videos will be banned soon because ordinary people live in poverty (even China's former Premier Li Keqiang said that 600 million people in China earn less than 1000 yuan per month), and showing these poor lives to the public is not allowed in China because it will deepen people's doubts about the effectiveness of the Communist Party's economic policies. When Xiaohongshu first became popular in China (I don’t mean when Xiaohongshu was first established), it was an app about female consumption and entertainment, and as a result, a serious comparison culture was formed on this app. This culture led to a phenomenon called “refined poverty”, which means that young people with limited incomes spend a lot of money (even borrowing high-interest loans) on some items and services that can show off their wealth on social media, while being very tight on other aspects of life. Therefore, generally speaking, the content about Chinese people's lives that you can see on Xiaohongshu is posted by middle-class people living in big cities and people who are poisoned by the culture of "refined poverty". Ordinary people are too embarrassed to post their ordinary lives on it. Even if they do, if they post too much, their posts will be deleted or their accounts will be blocked. So, I can say that the content about life you can see on Xiaohongshu is exaggerated. The content on Xiaohongshu cannot reflect the real living standards of Chinese people.
Can't believe what I've seen on RedNote. I am no longer convinced that we are living in a "first-world country". It's just insanely eye-opening.
Okay so I want to buy some My Little Pony Kayou cards on rednote and i am aware Rednote does not ship internationally. So i downloaded Alipay and now I’m wondering how I’m supposed to find a warehouse that can ship internationally, I am based in Mauritius. Can someone help please 🥲
Those AI-generated shorts, clips, mini - dramas, whatever you want to call them, are so annoying and loud. My elderly parent is always watching them, and it drives me crazy. Because they're AI-generated, the voices and characters (and even some of the storylines) all seem almost the same. They're always loud and noisy, with men, women, young and old constantly screaming or fighting in every clip. The elderly women are the worst, always screaming in those crazy high pitched voices. I don't understand it. Why do people generate so many of these shorts and clips when they're all the same type of noisy content?
Hi! So I have a bit of an issue. I had to get a new phone since my old one is at its last breath (I can still access it and the app and account). When I was transferring everything over, I wanted to transfer my account over as well. However I found out I was only able to log in with a foreign ID verification. I tried to Google it a bit and found that the option for any type of ID verification wasn't available for me under Account Security. I tried a few tricks the internet proposed and still nothing happened (also unsure of whether I did them correctly). If anyone has any tips or can help me out I'd love to hear it!
