Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

    Replacing one Chinese Spyware app with another. Lmao, it’s just so funny to me.

        It’s actually worse because the American spyware apps give our data to the government to prosecute us for abortions etc.

          That’s always been my point. China can do less with my data than the UK or America.

          You confused us by saying a race, like you’re spreading excuses for anti-libre software.

          ‘Replacing one spyware for another’ is clear.

              A race, like ethnicity, which reduced the clarity of your initial comment.

              ‘Replacing one spyware for another’ is more clear.

                  Throwing in the race card is something that wumao are instructed to do regularly.

                  The fact that, like you pointed out, you hadn’t said a single thing about race is a strong indicator that the person you’re replying to is a paid troll.

                  Btw “wumao” is literally “five dimes”, which refers to the “50 cent party” who are paid internet commentators with the goal to push CCP propaganda. The “50 cent” part refers to how much they get paid per comment.

                  Now I’m not saying this person definitely is a wumao, but my guess is that they are.
