Summary
Americans are posting videos about 3D-printed guns on the Chinese video app RedNote, despite the content being illegal in China.
While some users are uncomfortable with the topic, others see it as an opportunity for cultural exchange.
The future of TikTok remains uncertain as the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the ban.
As much as I hate people going to an even more security disaster of an app, the amount of “fuck you” energy I’ve been seeing from everyone that’s moved over there is so god damn funny.
If it keeps going maybe they will start roaching out of Facebook and Twitter too. The network effect works both ways.
Oh for anyone not actually on Tiktok, there is a huge movement to delete their FB and other Meta accounts on Sunday… we will see how huge it really ends up being.
It will be relatively small, but every person who does it is a win regardless.
Now do Tiananmen Square.
I have been told that China pushes NO PROPAGNADA on RedNote because they have a NO POLITICS policy.
And the person who told me that did not see the issue.
Now do &%$!@$+×# &%;%$.
Second time I’ve seen this in a day. Wow what are you guys talking about?
See to you, you see &%$!@$+×# &%;%, but we see Hunter2
But how do i do Hunter2?

Idk why you americans think that you have soo muuuch freedom, lol. You can talk about Tiananmen square, sure, and that somehow suffice to make y’all think you live in an utopian country with unlimited freedom, lol
Not sure who is saying any of that, seems like you’re jumping to conclusions that no one has said
Also as a southern American I’d appreciate it if you stopped saying y’all, it’s cultural appropriation
Every language has been culturally appropriated from another.
Bless your heart.
I’m with you in the first half, but complaining about using the word y’all and calling it cultural appropriation is a strange take to me. Maybe it’s because I don’t believe in cultural appropriation (in the general sense of the term). Culture that’s shared is strengthened and grows. Rome became the strongest civilization in history on the basis of incorporating foreign people into their society (against their will most often) and through long distance trading. I’m less educated on dynasties in the far east and how they functioned because there’s far less documentation of their history, but that kinda proves my point.
This seems like a super long response to just a throwaway comment, but I’ve been really thinking lately about what it means to be human and I think I’ve narrowed it down to one word. Sharing. Sharing information, culture, land, resources, experience, fortune, pain, ideas…etc. So maybe I helped convince you to share aspects of your culture or not, but I at least wanted to try.
i can’t tell if his joke went over your head or if your joke is going over my head
Idk, that was just the vibe i was feeling. And since when “y’all” is cultural appropriation? Or are you ironic? I’m not sure
Seems fairly obviously sarcasm. Nobody who says y’all is ever upset someone else uses it.
Even if they are legitimately pissed-- ignore them. Fusing the singular and plural second person pronouns was a mistake and “y’all” has come to deliver us from misery and confusion.
Delusional much?
Me? How so?
It’s not my job to educate you
It may not be a utopian country with unlimited freedom, but at the end of the day we are still more free than China with the insane focus on our policies and problems.
You should travel more.
I travel quite a bit.
americans and bringing guns places they absolutely shouldn’t be, name a better duo

Tiananmen Square is like, a huge tourist attraction and plaza near their equivalent of the White House and other important government complexes I’m sure they’ve seen a ton of photos of it. They hold national events there.
You know that’s not what they mean.
But sure, you go ahead and post this “tourist” photo on RedNote and see what happens. Please do report back to us.

If that’s all he was, please post it there and tell us what happens.
Did you post it yet? What happened?
Eh, not public ally. They would have cuffed him, put him in the back of a cruiser upside down without a seatbelt on and left him to suffocate or something.
