“This massive corporation sucks too!” Have you tried not going with a massive corporation?
Meanwhile, American users are flocking to RedNote because authorities have worked themselves into a lather over privacy concerns about TikTok, while U.S. tech giants harvest user data with industrial efficiency. The difference? American data collection is done for profit, and Chinese data collection is done for control. Pick your poison.
Hard to argue Zuck and Elon don’t want control either…
profit is simply a means of seeking control…
I’d argue profit and control are two side of the same coin
“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”
not necessarily
Please elaborate
some profit from things getting out of control
some give up on profit to have control (you may say that control is their profit, but i’m taking profit literally.
the power to destroy a thing is complete control over it
not necessarily, again
destruction may be the result of failure to control or even resistance to control. Why all these generalizations? There are so many variables in uncountably different situations.
This is crystal clear now, but it was less clear before.
I started saying that social media finally figured out how to monetize the platform and it’s customers aren’t people, aren’t even companies, the customers are now billionaires and foreign governments.
The article talks about how America is mirroring China’s tactic. So yeah, now they want control too.
I mean, trying to regulate technology at the speed of American politics was very obviously a nonsensical and futile proposition from the get-go.
The only winners in this scenario are governments that want more control over their citizens’ digital lives.
And that, as the saying goes, is not a bug. It’s a feature.
What happens when Americans start posting about Hong Kong not being a part of China?
TAIWAN #1!
You mean mainland Taiwan? Never heard of this China.
Judea and Samaria agree.
You know the official name of Taiwan’s government is The Republic of China right?
That’s the joke yes. Among others here. 😆
Yeah, that’s where the previous Chinese leaders fled when the communists took over…
Really? Let me try.
Hong Kong isn’t part of China. Taiwan is an independent country.
极其滑稽的
Tibet is completely forgotten 😢
Tibet was CIA propaganda. The Dalai Lama org was directly paid by the CIA
let’s assume that statement is true, let’s take the words of an anonymous internaut for truth :
CIA paid Taliban too, i remember reading. Does that make Taliban too just propaganda?
U.S. sponsored and sponsors many movements around the globe as long as their goals align. That money alone can’t invalidate the cause.
Like, on the contrary, U.S. sponsorship can’t validate a cause either.
i remember unsubscribing from political communities, why the heck am i responding to this comment at this hour. Completely futile! Will it change your mind? Do i really care what you will think about Tibet tomorrow?
Tibet was today’s Uyghurs. its US Sinophobic propaganda.
The same as when Americans posted about the gaza genocide on tik tok, the government cracks down.
China doesn’t let it’s own people use these apps…
Rednote is mostly chinese users.
I’d bet Chinese government WANTS people using these apps. They have established state control for rapid monitoring and data collection and rapid censorship and targeted groups for manipulation and propaganda.
They’ll probably get mocked and their posts removed.
The same thing that’s happening right now with Americans claiming Taiwan is not part of China.
To shreds you say?
Lol, 700k misinformed idiot Americans you mean.
Anyone that knows anything about average TT users knew that if the ban was going to happen, that this was going to happen in some way, shape, or form.
I’m pretty sure Xiao Hong Shu translates to Little Red Note in English. I’m not using it, just clarifying the name to make it seem small / cute. Aduki beans are Xiao hong dou.
First of all, the name doesn’t translate to “Little Red Note”, but “Little Red Book.”
Second, Little Red Book is literally the nickname of a Chinese political publication called Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung.
Sorry, that name isn’t cute at all.
LOL my god, it’s really that in-your-face blatant?!
