RedNote is based in China, which makes the app vulnerable to potential data and censorship requests.

Summary

Many Americans are migrating to RedNote, a Chinese-owned app based in China, raising significant privacy and security concerns.

Experts warn that RedNote, based in China, is subject to Chinese laws, including the Personal Information Protection Law and Data Security Law, which grant the government rights to request data and cooperation with intelligence operations.

Enforcement of these laws is often opaque. Analysts highlight risks of data collection, algorithm manipulation, and censorship on RedNote.

Critics argue the U.S. lacks comprehensive privacy laws, driving users to platforms like RedNote that may pose even greater risks than TikTok.

          You might as well be. You’re probably in one of our vassal countries if you’re still falling for US propaganda.

            I’m not falling for any US propaganda. Americans seem to think people outside the US see American news as trustworthy. When the reality is that we generally see it as biased at best and ludicrous the rest of the time.
