The whole TikTok refugee thing is "so 2025", and we´re not even a month into the new year yet. So TikTok users - who presumably deny that the Chinese ownership of TikTok is a national security threat - respond to the American ban on the app by migrating to a heavily censored China app named after Chairman Mao´s Red Book which actually may be a real security threat?!
I know this isn´t really a joke (cyber surveillence and ditto terrorism are a thing) but I can´t help laughing. Note also the bizarre irony that it was Biden who banned the app (you know, the POTUS referred to as "China Joe" by Trump supporters), while Trump is trying to save it?! Presumably, because one of the *American* owners gave a hefty campaign contribution to the very same Donald.
RedNote, by contrast, seems entirely owned and controlled by some mainland ChiCom front operation. The end of the world has never been more fun to watch!
Americans get first taste of Chinese censorship
US TikTok addicts flock to "Little Red Book"
