As the TikTok ban looms, users are rushing to the Chinese app Red Note sending to number 1# downloaded app instead of slumping back to Meta “We are not going back.”

Say what you will about TikTok , my brief time on their had me a bit shocked to see something I hadn't in a while: Real discourse.

Young people discussing and sharing thoughts and information with one another unfettered by an American goverment controlled algorythm.

During the election I saw young liberal kids leveling their disdain for both sides of the aisle politically and critizing Kamala for her policies instead of blindly praising her for superficial reasons.

There is certainly a conspiracy around banning TikTok, the US govenrnment HATES not getting our data , said as much and have now overplayed their hand.

Us audiences have gotten wise, they see mark Zuckerberg rubbing his hands together on Joe Rogan salivating at all the new users he'll be getting back.

But the funniest thing just happened, the users have sworn off meta and instead deliberately chosen to use a real China app rednote instead, stating they would rather will Bland their data to China versus having the us govenment secretly take it.

It's fascinating to watch users set aside political ideals and wake up and realize it's not about left versus right but rather us versus them.
