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.

People do things on their free time. Stop calling everything people do "an addiction".

It's just another addiction in our world that encourages over-consumption. If this were just people looking at silly videos nobody would have a problem. It's just another brick in the wall. We should fight for every one that gets put in.
