It's been pretty entertaining to see all the China (and Russia) supporters crying on this thread. It's been a horrible for year for China after all, they needed some good news, but got none.

There is a statement from India’s information technology ministry, after 20 Indian soldiers died during border skirmish with China. When India banned TikTok in 2020 [0]

> Chinese mobile apps were stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data.

One American user, who identified themselves as “non-binary” on RedNote, was censored after publishing a post on Tuesday asking if the platform welcomed gay people. The post was removed within hours, the user told CNN [0]

The next day, they uploaded a new post saying they will quit the platform over the decision but was soon on the receiving end of homophobic comments, with some users accusing them of cultural imposition.

A Chinese user suggested that he try covering his nipples, as Chinese social media platforms generally impose restrictions on displaying them when it is perceived as sexually suggestive.

A few RedNote users also noted that posts about the Japanese anime My Hero Academia, which faced censorship in China since 2018 due to controversial references to Japan’s wartime history, have since been removed from the platform.

"And TikTok has special characteristics—a foreign adversary's ability to leverage its control over the platform to collect vast amounts of personal data from 170 million U. S. users—that justify this differential treatment. [S]peaker distinctions of this nature are not presumed in- valid under the First Amendment."

Unanimous decision to ban TikTok from a divided Supreme Court, 2025.

It's just China/TikTok's Hail Mary. They want to make Trump look bad. Not sure if they realize that most of the ardent supporters of TikTok/migrater to Little Red Note are young female users who incidentally hate Trump anyways. And also ironic since a lot of those users signed up for Little Red Note got banned instantly for posting DEI content such as LGBTQ or trans.

Also, very happy to see all the China/Russia supporters on this thread crying.
