Why has rednote started to temporarily/permanently ban foreign ip accounts?

Recently, I have heard that many foreign ip accounts are getting banned they're either permanent or temporarily frozen. I faced this issue last Thursday and it was a mess, I was restricted from messaging, commenting, posting, modifying my profile. I never violated any rules I only have 2 friends on the app I talk with regularly, I never spam comments, likes or posts yet I was banned! Additionally, they wanted me to provide them with my id proof which I don't have but somehow after filing appeals, feedbacks I was able to get my account back completely day before yesterday.

Today I realised, it's not just me but many other foreigners who are slowly getting banned even if they provide or don't provide a real id proof.There's no guarantee.

It's just sad I have spent 5 months on the app, made 2 good chinese friends and now I feel like I might eventually lose them as there's no guarantee that my account is completely safe, I might get banned again and eventually lose it and even if I create a new one I'll still have to provide them an id proof which I don't have.

And what is the divine law? To keep a man’s own, not to claim that which belongs to others, but to use what is given, and when it is not given, not to desire it; and when a thing is taken away, to give it up readily and immediately, and to be thankful for the time that a man has had the use of it- Epictetus discourses.

You don't have any identification? But they still unbanned you, I don't get what the problem is exactly

Can you ask your friends to move to another social media, so you can keep talking?

This was bound to happen really. The Tik-tok refugee story was big news here in China, in state media every day for a couple of weeks.

There was a crack in the great firewall, and Tik-Tok folk found it.

It was always going to be a matter of time before that crack was filled.

I woke up to a ban this morning. It's so weird, everything I post is cutesy flowers, art, food, and Hmart hauls.

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

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.
