Sure, which is why installing it is largely a protest. I don’t think US tiktokkers are going to seriously learn pinyin so they can properly tag their post.
Protests are supposed to inconvenience the institution and other people not involved in the situation so that they empathize and push for change. This isn’t a particularly good protest if it’s not doing those things. It doesn’t seem to be inconveniencing the supreme Court, the federal government, or people who don’t use tik tok so …
Except it’s owned by Xingyin Information Technology? And I didn’t see any ads on Tiktok for Rednote, just creators telling me that’s where they’re going.
Did you just make that up, or did someone lie to you?
I think that’s the point… Its a protest, and RedNote doesn’t even pretend that it isn’t a part of the CCP. The tiktok users know this, they are just trying to give the biggest middle finger they can.
There’s already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.

No ads yet…
That will get banned too if the bill goes into effect.

Protest can also be a form of art and memetic transmission. Don’t be so quick to dismiss others.

Soon enough, they’ll just rename TikTok to RedNote

Middle finger saying “yah, we want the CCP to control our apps!”
It’s a protest, it won’t last forever. Americans aren’t going to learn Mandarin fluently.
99% off the comments are in Mandarin, and like 50% of the UI is still in Mandarin even from US app stores.
Given that I live in America, I’d rather China controlling my apps than the American government.
