"NewsBreak", a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.
Never heard of it. Hard to believe it's the most downloaded news app. I guess I'm out of touch.
50M+ downloads on Google Play. Hard to verify if farmed tho.
“Most downloaded” just means “biggest phone farm”.
I was expecting it to be Ground News considering how much they advertize on YouTube.
Do most Americans really get their news from Chinese AI now? I can’t really believe that but then sadly maybe I can…
Probably propogated by TikTok or similar operations, I hope the 2 new laws passed alongside the tiktok forced sale makes them divest and stop sharing data overseas.
China will always win. It’s just a numbers game at this point. Thankfully I’ll be dead and gone by then.
If it's purely a numbers game then I'm interested to see how India develops over the next 50 years.
