Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.
- American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
- Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
- The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.
All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.
That’s all Tiktok is.
No one was arguing about making Americans hate their government. The argument is about TikTok being a pro-CCP propaganda tool. That’s it.
You keep bringing it back to “hating America”, when that was never the point.
What you’re saying is actually a typical diversionary tactic that pro-CCP people use. Shift the target of the argument away from the CCP, exactly the way you did.

It’s simply not. It’s allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.
