Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.
But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Lol. Lmao, even.
Jk, my real thoughts is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
😂
Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.
The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that's a sign....
or maybe they want to maintain control of the oppressed citizens of China?
They're gonna build a firewall, and the US is gonna pay for it!
This is a hilarious turn of events.
Imo it's more sad than hilarious. US users and Chinese users meeting each other on the platform and discovering they are interesting people who actually have a lot in common sounds like what I'd wish the internet to be.
It's not surprising, and I get the irony, but I feel more sad than amused.

This was the turn of events anyone who knows anything about China and the CCP (and how closely they control businesses there) would have expected.
I knew it was coming since that article yesterday about us Americans posting vids of 3D printed guns lmao
Luigi is now the most popular name for newborns in China.
Lu Yi-Gee
Please let this be true 🤣
It amazes me how people apparently can't live without watching shitty videos all the time... Oh, well.
It’s an addiction. No other way to describe it. Like your coke dealer ran out so you gotta switch to crack instead.

Rednote with multiple SIMULTANEOUS video feeds sounds like a whole new level of brain rot

China: we’re supposed to be doing the influencing here.
The irony.
