TikTok ban sparks shift to RedNote in US
TikTok users in the U.S. are bracing for a potential ban, which is set to take effect this Sunday.
As uncertainty looms, many are switching to another Chinese app called RedNote.
The U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating whether to ban TikTok or force its sale to an American firm, citing national security concerns.
ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, denies the allegations.
Meanwhile, RedNote has surged in popularity, becoming the top downloaded app on the U.S. App Store.
More than 160,000 posts under #tiktokrefugee highlight the trend.
Chinese users are welcoming Americans to the platform in lighthearted exchanges.
Outgoing President Joe Biden supports the ban, while incoming President Donald Trump opposes it and seeks an emergency review.
Experts say the final decision could reshape the social media landscape and affect millions of users.
