    This is the third story I’ve seen today that was basically “Tiktok users flee service to other chinese service app you’ve never heard of”

    So basically the usa banned tiktok, and now there’s 3 other tiktoks, all connecting the same amount of data for china, just through 3 different services instead of 1.

      Honestly, I don’t even believe these articles. At some point it just starts to sound like they are making things up.

        I mean, this is real easy to fact check. Open whichever playstore you prefer and sort by most downloaded. Red note and 8 will be up there.

      Sounds about right, From my understanding, they singled out TikTok instead of addressing the actual problem they claim to care about.

      [Edit, another comment says its any app with 1million users. So now there’s just going to be a hundred TikTok clones all under the same umbrella just different names.]

        If they addressed the general problem it would also affect US social media platforms and they want to continue doing that when American companies do it.
