Just checked out RedBook again…

This is from a fresh install. Now, I’ve used Red Book before, but the influx of new users and the sheer amount of pro-China, anti-Western content is undeniable.

I cannot see how Red Book will escape censorship when there is such an overwhelming level of bias. At least TikTok is somewhat more diluted when it comes to propaganda.

Just scrolling through posts, you can see these poor American teenagers’ scepticism of America being reinforced by people who fundamentally oppose their values.

Teenagers are seriously missing the point of why TikTok is even scrutinised. They still insist on viewing everything through an American lens, as though it’s simply impossible for a government to have direct influence over social media—because social media in the USA supposedly doesn’t.

But now they’re going on a platform that is essentially Douyin Instagram. Regardless of any desire to avoid politics, they’re just being fed pro-China, anti-Western rubbish.
