    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.

        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”.

        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?
