  • Quality fucking journalism right here folks! Not sure how many of you slogged all the way through the article to catch this nugget, but, well, I'll let it speak for itself:

    RedNote is heavily censored

    Content on RedNote appears to be much more heavily censored than posts on TikTok. A CBS News analysis found that any search for "Xi Jinping," China's autocratic president, on RedNote yielded no results whatsoever.

    The term "Free Hong Kong" also brought back no results. A search for "Taiwan" will turn up several memes welcoming Americans to the platform, but noting that users must recognize the Beijing-imposed narrative that the democratically governed island just off China's coast, which the U.S. is legally bound to help defend from invasion, is an inseparable part of China.

    A similar search for those terms on TikTok turns up a wide range of political opinions from users, including posts heavily critical of Chinese censorship.
