If it reaches more than 1 million monthly active American users, it too can be subject to the same scrutiny under the law in question.
- est 2y agoIt runs and operates outside US. How exactly would you enforce the ban? Seize the domain?
- mplanchard 2y agoI don’t know the details of this app’s corporate structure, but if it’s developed here and user data stays here it would not qualify under the act. Based on the context of your and other comments I assumed it was also a foreign-controlled app
- est 2y agoThe REDnot is not a "foreign-controlled" app, it's a foreign app, and it does not target the US market. The US citizens chose to use a non-US app. How would US enforce a ban? Send marines to Shanghai and capture CEOs?
- mplanchard 2y agoOh I misread your comment (read /inside/ rather than /outside/ for some reason), but obviously the same way they’re going to ban tiktok? Make it illegal for the app stores to host.
- chis 2y ago... the same way tiktok is being banned? It is going to be removed from the app store
- gs17 2y agoREDnote is explicitly "小红书国际版", or "Little Red Book International Version" and is in English in US app stores. It's definitely targeting non-Chinese users.
- seventhtiger 2y agoIt's targeting Chinese users abroad. The entire interface, and all the content, is Chinese only it hasn't been localized for anyone.
- perryizgr8 2y agoThey will levy fines on google and apple if they don't remove it from their stores.
- popcalc 2y agoSanctioning advertisers would be the first step.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> runs and operates outside US …same as TikTok. Removed from app stores.
- csomar 2y agoCCP: let's create 200 apps where each app has just less than 1 million active; and then cross-content across the apps so you are sort of browsing a single site. Maybe China will finally bring federated social media.
