    Those will stay rumors. Thinking the CCP will wall off Americans shows a complete lack of understanding China. Since as the article noted, if you don’t follow the rules you’ll be banned, there’s no way the government will try to wall off anyone. Hell, China didn’t even want to ban Google. They asked Google to put in the rules that rednote has. Google refused, the firewall blocks Google until they abide by the rules. If Google ever just follows the rules like Microsoft, they’re more than welcome to come back. If there’s any segregation it will be because the server’s are overwhelmed.

    *Edit. Btw that’s how bing and linkedin became huge in China until the Chinese found better Chinese alternatives. They never got banned, they got replaced.

        That’s the funny part. As they’re discovering with RedNote, Tik Tok wasn’t censored by China, that’s why they had 2, one for China and one for the world which would not follow the same censors. It actually was it’s own entity and did it’s own thing. That was a company decision because they thought it would make more money, and they were right.

          Unless you mention Tiananmen Square.

          I don’t like America, but I can still mentioned Kent State shootings.

          Where did Naomi Wu go after revealing that Chinese keyboard apps were keylogging? She was very careful to only accuse the company and not the party, but still got censored. Not everyone online has goldfish memory.

            I’m not sure what your trying to say. Rednote was always censored. Are you talking about Tik Tok?

            Here’s a whole list of videos on tik tok about tiananmen with multiple videos showing tankman.

            https://www.tiktok.com/tag/tiananmensquare

            And here’s niaomi’s tik tok

            https://www.tiktok.com/@realsexycyborg

            Oh and you probably should look soon. Because a government IS about to censor those posts on Tik Tok. The US government.
