The difference between virtue signalling commies and REAL commies (or close enough without famine) where they don't tolerate that gay degenerate shit lol.
They know degeneracy destabilizes.
It's basically a cultural weapon thrown at their enemies.
I had to: When the left try to bring degeneracy to commies
I thought this was going to be the "When do we get free healthcare, comrade?" Against-the-wall meme.
And the US throws it at its 'allies'.
Are they really moving to rednote or is it this just marketing?
Why not? Remember the whole thing over Threads, Mastodon and now Bluesky?
Which means this won't last long, especially if the app doesn't tolerate radical wokeness
Eh. If they're posting Rainbow propaganda, no. But if they're posting divisive anti-American, pro-immigrant rhetoric, I'm sure the CCP monitors will be fine with this. It all depends if they're willing to compromise on one to max out on the other. It's possible.
TikTok was censoring criticism of the US security state, e.g. Glenn Greenwald's criticism of the NATO war against Russia.
I remember that my mother was watching TV, and I overheard this commercial about some show that showed viral internet videos. The ad said something like "Before Threads, and even before TikTok, these internet videos (etc)...", and I'm just like... what the fuck is threads? And this was like, RIGHT when Threads became a thing. They astroturfed the fuck out of it everywhere, like it was really some legitimate social media site that everyone was using.
"What do you mean, buddy? We've always been on Threads. Threads has always been here. Let's get you signed up. One of us!"
I prefer those commercials over the ones I get on Amazon's free programming. They're always the same -- Something something Mr. Beast, followed by Obamacare, followed by "take these pills if you like having lots of uncontrolled gay sex." Not joking.
"They astroturfed the fuck out of it everywhere, like it was really some legitimate social media site that everyone was using." The funniest part was people discovering once you created an account you couldn't delete it without nuking your instagram.
Bluesky is already losing steam. It's down about 35% from its peak.

For better or worse, Twitter is where the party happens.
All these alt platforms, even Gab and Truth Social, turn into homogenous echo chambers.
Twitter has a lot of inertial keeping it going but it still has an awful censorship problem. Truth has censorship too.
Gab is better in many respects and it has shown staying power. It might be an echo chamber, but only because libtards can't handle opinions they don't agree with so they refuse to even try. They can have Bluesky where they can be miserable together.
Down 35% from its peak means that it went from a rounding error to a rounding error.
They are in droves
Those avatars for male and female look like they have bucked teeth like a WW2 anti-Japanese propaganda poster, lol.
"Red Note" is NOT the correct translation. It's actually called "Red Book," a clear reference to Mao's Little Red Book. They could not have picked a more hardcore Commie app! They need to just ban them ALL from the U.S. market, but nobody is talking about banning Chinese shopping apps like SHEIN, Temu, or CapCut, which collect ALL THE SAME user data.
So why not ban those apps? ... Because you can't politically organize on those apps. You can't "notice" things on those apps. This is about eliminating forums that allow us to escape (((Western))) censorship. It's not about "privacy." TikTok and Telegram never asked me for a credit card or my home address, unlike the shopping apps, so why not ban those first? Again, it's about controlling political narratives.
Not just Red Book. Explicitly Little Red Book.

the chinese should not be allowed to operate here in any capacity
What are you trying to say with that, pal? That's a typical CCP talking point: "China is the world leader in X," "China makes the most of X," but as well know, quantity does not imply quality. It's often quite the opposite, especially with China, its wares and its people.
It wouldn't be kia2 without m0r1arty making an inside joke that nobody outside his head can get. I severely doubt the Little Red Book outsold the Bible anyway, maybe on a "bestseller list" but not total sales
Ah. Thanks for the pointer.
Well, I hate the CCP and I don't live in an abstract, theorical world to think otherwise. I live according to the facts. If facts aren't your forte then perhaps ambling into conversations requiring them shouldn't be your thing.
Here are some more facts: the CCP is an anti-Western dictatorship with a criminal culture that's incompatible with the West. They're not "good" for each other. China is undermining the West with slave labor, and now it's dumping cheap EVs into Europe, decimating local competitors who don't have slaves of their own to build their cars. The list goes on, but China must be stopped and excluded from Western economies until they agree to play on equal terms.
China, Israel, or India -- faggots like you all suck one of those cocks. No exception!
Very communist.
The children yearn for the Vines.
They don't understand it's not just going to be just China enforcing this rules, the pendulum seems to be swinging other way pretty fast everywhere. Absolute schadenfreude they are going to go through for the next foreseeable future what the chuds went through last 15 years.
The people joining rednote should be on watch lists
People have learned nothing of the past 10 years of NatSec civil liberty abuses, or even the past 24 years of Patriot Act/WOT abuses.
Allowing Chinese Spyware into America is a matter of natsec
Allowing a president controlled by Russia was also a matter of natsec, they said.
Why would you take complaints of 'spying' by people who are notorious for illegal spying seriously?
True or false test for you
Does China own and control tiktok and redbook?
Is Donald Trump a Russian asset?
One is objectively true and the other is objectively false. Are we just not supposed to take action because it might be abused?
It's owned by a private company, not the Chinese government or a state-owned enterprise. Even if it did, I'd be more concerned about the US security state's endless illegal spying.
The same NatSec professionals who are anti-TikTok say yes.
What I noticed is that the action is completely disproportionate to the claim. So if the app is spying on people, which is what they claim, why not ban that instead of specifically targeting one app? Perhaps because they want to use American apps to spy on users themselves.
Lol a private company. You mean a company controlled by the ccp that sends the data straight to the ccp
Like US tech companies send their data straight to the USG? And that is actually demonstrated, and not just asserted.
Based.
Sounds like an improvement.
Lol that's a huge improvement.
