Summary
Many Americans joining China’s social media platform RedNote are encountering strict censorship uncommon in Western platforms.
One non-binary user had a post asking if the platform welcomed gay people removed within hours.
Posts on LGBTQ+ topics, fitness photos, and sensitive cultural content have been censored, frustrating users unfamiliar with China’s moderation rules.
RedNote is hiring English-language moderators to handle the influx. While some users enjoy cultural exchange, others criticize restrictions.
Analysts see RedNote’s growth among US users as a soft power win for China.
They also have a population of over a billion people. What misleading point are you trying to make? The U.S. is literally the richest country in the world.
The point I’m trying to make is in relation to the original comment that stated that both countries suck equally.
They do not suck equally, and it’s not even close.
