小红书 does not differentiate between the Chinese and western versions, meaning you're under the same rules as in China. Any comments against the CCP will get deleted, including jokes. It's not a "free speech" platform.
It's also just funny seeing people use this outside China.
The TikTok ban should be a good opportunity for people to quit their social media addiction.
I have bad news for you about "free speech" on any social media platform in the Western hemisphere...
What’s dumb is to pass legislation without anticipating how people will react to the new rule.
Honestly surprised we haven't seen any European, South American, African, etc developed social apps take off given the privacy and moderation concerns. Or apps based in Asian countries other than China.
We need a neutral social media society that plays fair. Maybe a company HQed in Switzerland or something offering full privacy and full ad protection seems to be an opportunity.
