As the threat of a TikTok ban looms in the US, many users are migrating to Chinese social media apps, particularly RedNote and Xiaohongshu. The latter has surged to the top of app store charts as users seek alternatives to TikTok, which could be banned following a Supreme Court ruling. The rising app RedNote, which has captured the attention of American users, stands out due to its restrictions on content visibility, including prohibiting posts that show skin or LGBTQ+ themes. As users express concern over privacy and censorship, these alternative platforms are gaining traction, making them popular choices amid fears of losing access to TikTok.
