  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

Replacing one Chinese Spyware app with another. Lmao, it's just so funny to me.

You confused us by saying a race, like you're spreading excuses for anti-libre software.

'Replacing one spyware for another' is clear.

I don't know what you think you didn't not unsay because the race is a special app for only one survive.

Also, I think that "autonomous user" that replied to you qualifies for aneurysm post of the day.
