After interacting with them, it’s pretty clear we’re the trailer park. They seem to know more about our history than most Americans do.
But we don’t exactly prioritize education here. Fuck taxes amirite?
Well, there are definitely parts of Chinese history Americans know more about.
Also, what “we”? The Americans using short form media aren’t exactly the brightest examples in the first place.
What makes you say that? From my recent experiences with short form media I’d say there are plenty of bright people involved. There’s tons of actual good STEM/Maker/DIY/Educational/History content and the medium lends itself well to quick community building
The irony being that TikTok is specifically designed to dumb down Americans. 🤣
Those will stay rumors. Thinking the CCP will wall off Americans shows a complete lack of understanding China. Since as the article noted, if you don’t follow the rules you’ll be banned, there’s no way the government will try to wall off anyone. Hell, China didn’t even want to ban Google. They asked Google to put in the rules that rednote has. Google refused, the firewall blocks Google until they abide by the rules. If Google ever just follows the rules like Microsoft, they’re more than welcome to come back. If there’s any segregation it will be because the server’s are overwhelmed.
*Edit. Btw that’s how bing and linkedin became huge in China until the Chinese found better Chinese alternatives. They never got banned, they got replaced.
Explain the two different Tiktoks then. Both were playing by the CCPs rules.
That’s the funny part. As they’re discovering with RedNote, Tik Tok wasn’t censored by China, that’s why they had 2, one for China and one for the world which would not follow the same censors. It actually was it’s own entity and did it’s own thing. That was a company decision because they thought it would make more money, and they were right.
Unless you mention Tiananmen Square.
I don’t like America, but I can still mentioned Kent State shootings.
Where did Naomi Wu go after revealing that Chinese keyboard apps were keylogging? She was very careful to only accuse the company and not the party, but still got censored. Not everyone online has goldfish memory.
I’m not sure what your trying to say. Rednote was always censored. Are you talking about Tik Tok?
Here’s a whole list of videos on tik tok about tiananmen with multiple videos showing tankman.

And here’s niaomi’s tik tok

Oh and you probably should look soon. Because a government IS about to censor those posts on Tik Tok. The US government.
Such a popcorn moment, honestly. I wonder where they’ll go to once Red Note blocks US Americans. They might be able to go back to tick tock if the US backpedals, but if not… is pixelfed or whatever fediverse alternative exists really ready to absorb 700M accounts?
Apparently the [?head ?CEO ?Mayor McCheese] of TikTok is attending the inauguration. Which means that they’ve already bribed Trump and the ban will be reversed pretty much immediately.
Honestly I expect VPN usage to go up
This article is horseshit. They wrote it from an unsubstantiated rumor on Reddit.
Meanwhile, China’s People’s Dispatch has praised the exchange, and Rednote has added a translation feature.
Good. Why the fuck are you all so addicted to Chinese brain rot?
