RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users

Quick Summary:

Rumors swirl that RedNote may segregate Chinese users as soon as next week.

"I know through VPNs and other ways, people are still able to access the app, but essentially this is gonna kill the app for Chinese Americans who actually use the app to connect with Chinese content, Chinese language, Chinese culture".

"RedNote or Xiaohongshu released an update in the greater China region with the function to separate out foreign IPs, and there are now talks of moving all foreign IPs to a separate server and having a different IP for those who are in the greater China area," the Reddit poster said.
