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.
Replacing one Chinese Spyware app with another. Lmao, it’s just so funny to me.
Because an American Spyware app is much better?
Both seem shit to me
You confused us by saying a race, like you’re spreading excuses for anti-libre software.
‘Replacing one spyware for another’ is clear.
I said a what now?!

The fuck?
You remove my comment but leave the troll?
A race, like ethnicity, which reduced the clarity of your initial comment.
‘Replacing one spyware for another’ is more clear.
What does race have to do with anything?!
Throwing in the race card is something that wumao are instructed to do regularly.
The fact that, like you pointed out, you hadn’t said a single thing about race is a strong indicator that the person you’re replying to is a paid troll.
Btw “wumao” is literally “five dimes”, which refers to the “50 cent party” who are paid internet commentators with the goal to push CCP propaganda. The “50 cent” part refers to how much they get paid per comment.
Now I’m not saying this person definitely is a wumao, but my guess is that they are.
They are famously known for supporting software freedom. /s
Exactly, the meaning is much more clear without it.
You know damn well they were referring to nationality rather than race.

It’s actually worse because the American spyware apps give our data to the government to prosecute us for abortions etc.
That’s always been my point. China can do less with my data than the UK or America.
Why not ban both if we are concerned about the harms of algorithmic content?
Think of the shareholders!
Well, the American one doesn’t have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.
And even if the only concern was spying, it’s like saying “well a creep on the street snapped a nude photo of me through my windows, so I may as well take my own nudes and pass it around the neighbourhood.”
because no US social media has ever affected an election?

Where evidence?
There have been multiple studies that have demonstrated that pro-CCP content outweighs anti-CCP content by at least 3 to 1. Even on profiles that prefer anti-CCP content the pro content still gets suggested at a 3 to 1 ratio.
Surely you’d be willing to share those studies then? Because the only one I’ve seen was NCRI who didn’t make that claim and are hilariously biased.
No. I’m not doing research for you. Even if I did, we both know you’d either dismiss it or ignore it. I’m a nobody to you and you’re already biased against what I have to say.
We won’t see eye to eye on this. We simply won’t agree. It would just be a waste of my time.
I’m not asking you to do research. I’m asking you to show research you’ve presumably already done.
I don’t keep links to things I’ve read over the years. You really think I have a folder on my desktop labelled “CCP Propaganda Proof” with various docs and links?
