Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

Of course I'm rationalising anti-China propaganda. I support your right to disagree but the CCP doesn't. They want to kill freedom of expression and I will fight that but if u wanna do otherwise I support ur liberty to do so. I disagree with u on the condition u allow such disagreement.

You think banning TikTok is about China and not about state oppression and control of public discourse by the US Government in service to Zionists, then I don't have anything else to add.

That is an extremely narrow world view. If u actually cared about genocide u wouldn't be supporting the continued existence of an app that is provably suppressing any mention of the ccp's genocide.

I can go and criticise China on any US social media platform. But I will be shadowbanned, throttled, or blocked if I do the same for Israel. That's primarily why TikTok is being banned.

Jonathan Greenblatt. ADL director gave it away last year in a leaked recording when he said "we have a TikTok problem".
