Some say they joined Xiaohongshu, which translates to “little red book,” to spite the US government after a ban on TikTok became more likely.

    Sounds about right, From my understanding, they singled out TikTok instead of addressing the actual problem they claim to care about.

    [Edit, another comment says its any app with 1million users. So now there’s just going to be a hundred TikTok clones all under the same umbrella just different names.]

      To be fair, the law is broad enough that it could target these other services as well pretty easily.

        The law is broad enough they could target Discord.

          That seems like a bit of a stretch since it’s US based company. I guess some of its investors could be based in China though.

      If they addressed the general problem it would also affect US social media platforms and they want to continue doing that when American companies do it.

      Due to the network effect, having a hundred apps instead of one is a big negative.

        I suppose. I was thinking more of 1 Chinese company just spinning up a hundred copy/paste apps.
