Summary
Many Americans are migrating to RedNote, a Chinese-owned app based in China, raising significant privacy and security concerns.
Experts warn that RedNote, based in China, is subject to Chinese laws, including the Personal Information Protection Law and Data Security Law, which grant the government rights to request data and cooperation with intelligence operations.
Enforcement of these laws is often opaque. Analysts highlight risks of data collection, algorithm manipulation, and censorship on RedNote.
Critics argue the U.S. lacks comprehensive privacy laws, driving users to platforms like RedNote that may pose even greater risks than TikTok.
Are you really trying to contend that ByteDance, the owners/developers of TikTok, are not a Chinese based company?
You’re moving the goalposts. Claim was “Chinese owned”. It is not, it’s a privately held company - here’s a list of investors making up about 60%* of the institutional investor ownership:
Then the founders and the employees each hold about 20% ownership.
“Chinese owned” isn’t the same as “CCP Owned”.
It’s not either.
Well that was easy to find. Also, your blurb about who has shares in ByteDance is practically lifted straight from TikTok’s FAQ page. Not exactly an unbiased source.
