The TikTok ban is going down in flames
TikTok users are flocking to a new app called REDnote that is unabashedly Chinese.
The TikTok ban is scheduled to take effect on Sunday, one day before Trump is sworn in as president for the second time. Trump has come out against the ban, but it remains to be seen what, if anything, he can do to reverse it after taking office. In the meantime, TikTok users have been flocking to a new app called REDnote (Xiaohongshu) that is proudly Chinese:
The app is already #1 in the Free Apps section of the Apple App Store:
REDnote is also #1 on the Google Play Store as well:
The gentleman in this video summed all of this up well by calling Gen Z’s flocking to REDNote as big “fuck you energy” designed to send a message to those responsible for the banning of TikTok:
The TikTok ban has AIPAC’s fingerprints all over it, and it has NOTHING to do with “data security” or “national security.” AIPAC (the Israeli lobby) controls almost all US politicians, and they did not like the fact that TikTok was showing the reality of the holocaust happening in Gaza. So the Israeli lobby put the screws to the US politicians they control, and TikTok was banned.
Rolling Stone exposed the real reasons behind the TikTok ban:
Now that a potential TikTok ban has been passed by Congress and signed by President Biden, some lawmakers are getting more comfortable saying what exactly the ban would help them accomplish. In recent days, at least two prominent Republican lawmakers have linked the possible ban to their concerns that content on the extremely popular social media app is too sympathetic to Palestinians under siege in Gaza.
On Friday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) hosted an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at this year’s McCain Institute Sedona Forum. Romney questioned Blinken as to why “PR” in favor of fomenting American support for Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza has been so bad.
“The way this has played out on social media has dominated the narrative,” Blinken said of the war. “You have a social media environment in which context, history, facts, get lost — and the emotion, the impact of images dominates.”
In a telling response, Romney noted that while “some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok,” if “you look at the posting on TikTok and the number of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, its overwhelmingly so on TikTok.”
“So I know that’s of real interest, and the president will have a chance to take action in that regard,” Romney added.
Here's Sen. Romney telling Blinken that one reason lawmakers banned TikTok is that there are more pro-Palestinian posts on the platform. Back in November, @jdcapelouto and I wrote about why that's really the case: TikTok is popular in Muslim countries https://t.co/RBx1PQGXkY https://t.co/90Jz17nn6M

Netanyahu and his band of retard extremists have slaughtered Palestinians as though they were farm animals. TikTok, unlike some other social media platforms, allowed its users to freely share information about what has been happening in Gaza, and the Israeli lobby realized that TikTok either had to be controlled by its political pawns or it had to be utterly destroyed.
Netanyahu, however, has his share of opponents in Israel; not all the Israelis support the holocaust he has inflicted on the Palestinians in Gaza. But his opponents in Israel have been so far powerless to stop him. The end result of Netanyahu’s actions has been that many Gen Z men and women have taken the side of the Palestinians, and that freaked out AIPAC and others who support what Netanyahu has done.
But what now? REDnote is here, and Gen Z is already flocking to it. What will the Israeli lobby do now? Ban REDnote too? Okay, great. There will then be another app, and then another, and then another. Not to mention that TikTok itself might live on as a web app if the political pawns of AIPAC don’t ban that domain and try to cut it off on the open web as well.
The real issue here is the control of the media by the Zionists in the Israeli lobby. In the past, it was easier for them to control the flow of news and information by making sure that the Jewish oligarchs owned and controlled the TV, newspapers, radio stations, etc. But now, in the age of the Internet and apps, narrative control has slipped through their fingers, and it is not so easy for them to brainwash the younger generations as it was for them to control and manipulate Boomers and some of Gen X.
The Zionists have not even been able to control Israeli dissidents who are adamantly against what Netanyahu has been doing in Gaza. Video and other content from Israeli dissidents have flowed like water onto TikTok and other social media platforms. Thus, the need to take control of TikTok or to utterly destroy it.
We shall see how this all plays out, but it’s obvious that the banning of TikTok is not going to work out the way the politicians and their AIPAC handlers had hoped. Their lies about “national security” are pure bullshit, and anybody who has used TikTok knows it. We all know who holds the leash of the politicians in the imperial capital who passed the TikTok ban. 🙄
If you want to send a “fuck you” message to AIPAC and the politicians it controls, you can download REDnote from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

I notice that RedNote is available on my Aurora Store (de-googled phone, so many apps not available)
Discuss the TT ban with folks who haven't paid much attention and they'll repeat verbatim MSM talking points on "Nat'l Security", "PII Data risk", and other reasons that are discussed around the usual legacy media table.
Watch the eyes glaze over when you bring up numerous other apps that pose greater risks, yet are all but ignored as possible dangers. Controlling narratives and seeking containment of thought appear more likely with TT.
Bring this theory up and, of course, out come accusations of being a CCP lover...
