Apparently some Israeli-Americans went on Red Note to specifically asked Chinese people what they thought of Israel, and users basically said they were "Devil's on this earth for killing babies" which like...damn. Even through the Great Firewall they aren't beating the allegations.
So I'm sure the Israeli lobby will get that banned next, we shouldn't worry.
Seems astroturfed to me
others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.
TikTok doesn't want the data of the average person becaue they aren't valuable in any way.
TikTok is being blocked because they can manipulate their algorithm to feed influencers to them that push pro-Chinese stances.
Imagine a hypothetical hot war between the US and China where China is telling a significant number of the US population what to think. I specifically say it that way becaue I don't believe any US company has a significant user base is China.
" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."
That's a special kind of stupid.
Xi's 50 Cent Army will be kept busy.
I do find it kinda funny that that the US gov. Was using "CCP propaganda" as an excuse to ban a platform of expression, and now many of those users have begun using an app that actually has a history of defending the CCP
