Incredible bag fumbling on the USA's part. Total Chinese Cultural victory, Alpha Centauri launch by end of year.
-Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
Aren't they just going to ban this one, too next?
From the Blinken and Romney talk, we know that the main reason for the Tiktok ban was ultimately that both parties saw prevalence of unfiltered information about the Palestinian genocide as a threat to US propaganda. If the Xiaohongshu exodus becomes a direct, fruitful cultural exchange with Chinese users that goes against ramping up tensions with the PRC, we will eventually see another ban that will at least go through its preliminal stages under Trump and that will continue regardless of the next presidential election outcomes. It will probably not even take that long because there's a precedent, an established process and a supreme court ruling in a comparable case now, because Republikans are even more confrontational towards the PRC than Demokrats and because ties between the GOP and the Amerikan digital bourgeoisie have deepened so much during the last weeks.
It took 5 years for the TikTok one to go through, and even if it also gets banned, it makes a great point about a major threat to America
Yeah but if it goes through, it's setting a precedent that will significantly hasten the next one.
