The year is 2025, hordes of American digital refugees have escaped oppression to to find refuge in a Chinese social media app appropriate named after the famous Red Book waved by many in China 60 years ago while the country stumbled along its journey towards development. As the Americans stumble towards the new shining beacon on the hill, they were asked to surrender only but their cat (Mao) tax before prancing around in the new digital order led by the new Chairman Mao (Wenchao). No sir, this cannot be made up.

Yes yes fine I know. Do whatever face saving measure you need to do.

“Takes to Senate Floor in Support of Vibrant Online Communities”​

I didn't usually use tiktok, so something about it I don't fully understand, but if you talk about "Vibrant", the U.S. Senate is rather like an over "vibrant community" right now... oh actually it is "over-react" right now...oh wait actually it always been like this.

This is the part I don't quite understand of the rush of TikTok refugees. If it is downloadable, accessible to their data, why in a rush to join Rednote?

What does that "banned from doing business in the US" mean? Can TikTok users in US still access their own data and update unhindered? Or that "doing business" is only about TikTok the company not able to sell advertisement to US entities etc.?
Most people naturally sees the word "ban" and think they can't use it anymore, ontop of that Americans also think the America is the entire world.

US has always relies on keeping their people ignorant to enforce censorship, Xiaohongshu just demonstrated, and TikTok can too, that you can't keep all Americans always ignorant, this has big implications.

TikTok can always ban userse with American IPs, but that's up to them, not the US. If Xiaohongshu isn't, then chances are ByteDance wouldn't either.

US goverment live in the dellusion that everyone wants their dollars and their dollars are the building block that keep reality together. The idea that ByteDance infact does not need US AD revenue is actually foreign to them.

If US screws up, bans TikTok but not censor it, then this can quickly turn into the worst possible outcome where Americans are still hooked on TikTok, but now all user data goes to China.
