It runs and operates outside US. How exactly would you enforce the ban? Seize the domain?

  I 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

    The 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?

      Oh 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.

      ... the same way tiktok is being banned? It is going to be removed from the app store

      REDnote 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.

        It's targeting Chinese users abroad. The entire interface, and all the content, is Chinese only it hasn't been localized for anyone.
        • gs17 2y ago
          The interface also has English as an option, although it's not well done.

            That's because it's only added recently. It's mainly used by overseas Chinese and mainland Chinese, also, until recently.

  They will levy fines on google and apple if they don't remove it from their stores.

    Sanctioning advertisers would be the first step.
