In reply to the discussion: What to know about RedNote, the Chinese app that American TikTokkers are flooding [View all]

(678 posts)77. If its Chinese owned, the same rules apply to them that applied to TikTok
Te CCP can tell them to do whatever they WANT to tell them & they have to do it
And yes, the excuse the "young people" will give you is "The govt already has all my personal info!!"

Even trump was against TikTok until the biggest US stockholder gave him a sack of money.

I am well aware of the construct of Autumn's reply, and I absolutely knew it was her granddaughter she was speaking of.

I mean, most don't care about the data either. That's just a dodge to get people talking about Meta and Twitter
