"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.
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.
