    People are fucking stupid. I don’t think there’s any point in banning TikTok but they’re not wrong when they say it pushes Chinese propaganda and they’re probably not wrong when they say that they’re using it to spy on people.

    So angry TikTok users want to make that worse for themselves out of spite?

    Idiots.

          Oh. Didn’t see that. Sorry. Anyway, I’m not quite following what you wanted to say with “So angry TikTok users want to make that worse for themselves out of spite?”. What are you proposing here? That people come back to USA owned social networks, because RedNote is “chinese” so it’s bad? Is there even a distinction between the twos? One stoles your data, the other one does the same. On RedNote they censor you, sure, but the same could be said about Meta apps, that for example censor Palestinian content. Anyway… i think i kinda lost the plot. Imma head to bed.

            It’s possible to use social networks that are not in the pockets of any governments. Or are even commercial ventures at all. You would be using one right now.
