In light of the ban of TikTok in America, I understand many TikTokers
have moved to another Chinese platform called RedNote. That may prove to

In a nutshell, Americans who go to RedNote will find the whole app
entirely in Chinese and will find that it is very heavily censored,
meaning anything they want to say about practically anything that they
can discuss freely on other apps will get them blocked. For instance,
any discussion of politics or LGBT issues or any number of other topics
is taboo. Furthermore, the Chinese government has already expressed
concern about foreigners in RedNote and has taken the initial steps to
segregate foreign users of the app into a separate silo that only lets
them talk to other foreigners and not to Chinese people.

Don't warn them.  Let them find out all on their own when the woke
garbage gets deleted.
