Meanwhile, American users are flocking to RedNote because authorities have worked themselves into a lather over privacy concerns about TikTok, while U.S. tech giants harvest user data with industrial efficiency. The difference? American data collection is done for profit, and Chinese data collection is done for control. Pick your poison.
Hard to argue Zuck and Elon don’t want control either…
I’d argue profit and control are two side of the same coin
“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”
not necessarily
Please elaborate
the power to destroy a thing is complete control over it
The article talks about how America is mirroring China’s tactic. So yeah, now they want control too.
This is crystal clear now, but it was less clear before.
I started saying that social media finally figured out how to monetize the platform and it’s customers aren’t people, aren’t even companies, the customers are now billionaires and foreign governments.
Anyone that knows anything about average TT users knew that if the ban was going to happen, that this was going to happen in some way, shape, or form.
I mean, trying to regulate technology at the speed of American politics was very obviously a nonsensical and futile proposition from the get-go.
The only winners in this scenario are governments that want more control over their citizens’ digital lives.
And that, as the saying goes, is not a bug. It’s a feature.
Lol, 700k misinformed idiot Americans you mean.
What happens when Americans start posting about Hong Kong not being a part of China?
You mean mainland Taiwan? Never heard of this China.
You know the official name of Taiwan’s government is The Republic of China right?
Judea and Samaria agree.
The same as already happens on lemmy.ml 😂
Really? Let me try.
Hong Kong isn’t part of China. Taiwan is an independent country.
Tibet is completely forgotten 😢
Tibet was CIA propaganda. The Dalai Lama org was directly paid by the CIA
The same as when Americans posted about the gaza genocide on tik tok, the government cracks down.
They’ll probably get mocked and their posts removed.
The same thing that’s happening right now with Americans claiming Taiwan is not part of China.
To shreds you say?
I’m pretty sure Xiao Hong Shu translates to Little Red Note in English. I’m not using it, just clarifying the name to make it seem small / cute. Aduki beans are Xiao hong dou.
