U.S. TikTokers flock to Xiaohongshu, baffling and bonding with Chinese users. (restofworld.org)

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.

Good. The TikTok ban is an outrageous act of censorship.

Edit: Didn't know the ADL are on Lemmy

That's like trying to argue that fighting the Nazis in ww2 was an outrageous act of killing.

Edit spelling

This is the second time in this thread that I've seen Nazi comparisons. Stop whitewashing Nazism by making absurd comparisons.

U could say the same thing every time someone called trump a facist. Also Godwin's Law

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nazis. Always the Nazis.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah cos if ur argument can be used to justify the Nazis it is clearly a bad argument.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

How does censorship justify Nazis? Maybe you're just rationalizing anti China propaganda.

It’s not that outrageous to ban a propaganda machine. The rest of the world should follow suit and restrict access to not only TikTok but Xitter, ChatGPT and everything Facebook too by how things are handled in these companies right now. They’re all answering to anti-democratic governments and threaten our freedom.

Ban Facebook first, anti-libre software. They never will. They're not doing this to help us.

AIPAC is the one threatening your freedom.
