But those who believe TikTok is a threat and “we” can’t be trusted to navigate it, are going to be entirely emboldened by this goofy little stunt. It will “prove” them entire right, in their view.
As in Mao’s little red book of communist instructions?
Americans?
Ask Xi Jinping about gay or trans rights, or racial equality. Or liberalism. Because he’s the one who determines Red Note’s values.
But you’re also implicitly defending the switch to a specific alternative: Rednote, which may as well be a corporate subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party.
Seems like a bad way to stick it to Musk, Zuck et al.
