    TikTok is banned in China, so why would anyone ever expect this would be different in this case?

      They have Douyin (it’s a carbon copy of tiktok). Rednote released a public statement welcoming US users, no evidence that what this article implies is being considered at all. The evidence is a reddit post. You are responding in agreement to a propaganda rag.

        But TikTok is still banned by China… Chinese people cannot sign up for TikTok and communicate with the outside world.

        Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

        Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

        They blocked the TikTok domain in China. What would you call that, if not a ban?

        You are naive if you believe they aren’t going to sever the communities. That was always going to happen.

          The only vibe I get from you is “15yo who just learned about politics”.
