Aren't a ton of people going to Red Note to specifically because it's actually owned by the CCP to spite this whole fiasco?

If it gets traction, they'll just give it the TikTok treatment

Much quicker now that there is a law they created for such apps. The same law that is being used to take down TikTok, which has bi-partisan support. Trump might have changed minds on TikTok since it helped him during elections, but RedNote won't have any such sympathy from Trump and the bi-partisan efforts will take it down.
