American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning "Little Red Book") and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.

The other one has to cross international borders.

Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.

If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.
