Breitbart: Americans Get First Taste of Chinese Censorship After Fleeing TikTok for RedNote
The Chinese app RedNote, or Xiaohongshu, is censoring discussions about the Tiananmen Square Massacre and Uyghurs as American users flock to it amid a potential TikTok ban. Posts related to these topics are quickly blocked, reflecting strict adherence to China's political narratives.
Users have also reported censorship of LGBTQ+ content, with violations leading to account suspensions. RedNote emphasizes compliance with Chinese laws and promotes a "correct view of history," mirroring the authoritarian control seen in other Chinese social media platforms.

Breitbart: Schweizer: The Only Opinion on TikTok That Counts Is the Chinese Communist Party's
The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to rule on a law that could lead to TikTok's shutdown, igniting debate over its role as a free speech platform versus a national security threat. Concerns have been raised about TikTok's ties to Chinese intelligence and its potential use as a tool in China's information warfare.
As discussions intensify, former President Trump appears to favor a delay in any ban, possibly to leverage negotiations with China on other issues. The fate of TikTok may hinge on whether China will allow its sale, given the app's algorithm is deemed a state secret.
