Chinese officials are evaluating a potential option that involves Elon Musk acquiring the US operations of TikTok if the company fails to fend off a controversial ban on the short-video app, according to people familiar with the matter.
Except it’s owned by Xingyin Information Technology? And I didn’t see any ads on Tiktok for Rednote, just creators telling me that’s where they’re going.
Did you just make that up, or did someone lie to you?
I think that’s the point… Its a protest, and RedNote doesn’t even pretend that it isn’t a part of the CCP. The tiktok users know this, they are just trying to give the biggest middle finger they can.
Sure, which is why installing it is largely a protest. I don’t think US tiktokkers are going to seriously learn pinyin so they can properly tag their post.
Protests are supposed to inconvenience the institution and other people not involved in the situation so that they empathize and push for change. This isn’t a particularly good protest if it’s not doing those things. It doesn’t seem to be inconveniencing the supreme Court, the federal government, or people who don’t use tik tok so …
There’s already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.
Another Chinese app
Another Bytedance-owned app. It’s just a TikTok clone and they’re running ads on TikTok to get people to move to RedNote LOL

Middle finger saying “yah, we want the CCP to control our apps!”
I’d rather China controlling my apps than America.
No ads yet…
Loops
That will get banned too if the bill goes into effect.
