I don't understand why these back benchers troll the chamber with bills like this. There's all sorts of sensible regultaion that is actually achievable if he actually put the effort in. Either he doesn't believe that these things are harmful or he doesn't care about the harm they cause.

Good idea if you don't want publishers to send you any advanced copies of their games in the future, which is just as well since your review won't be relevant to anyone. At that point it's just a preview.

Britain was the first country to use concentration camps. The Nazis stole the idea from us.

Chinese people are much more nationalistic than their government is. If it were a democracy it would have invaded Taiwan long ago.

It's good to see people engaging in cultural exchange and learning about each other through the app. Rednote sounds like an interesting place; most online spaces are dominated by men with relatively few women.

They also developed a way of writing with roman characters (called pinyin) so they could type on computers and phones. Taiwan developed a different method and Japan uses its own alphabet .

Chinese uses ideograms, which are the same for all dialects and are even used in Japan.

They ban reporting on the stock market if it closes 64 or 89 points lower than it opened. https://www.france24.com/en/20190604-8964-china-stocks-reference-tiananmen-anniversary-again

The BBC spoke to someone who acquired a large following shortly after signing up.

Some social media users tell the BBC that they find themselves scrolling on RedNote more than TikTok. "Even if TikTok does stay I will continue to use my platform I've created on RedNote," Tennessee tech worker Sydney Crawley told the BBC. Ms Crawley said she got over 6,000 followers within 24 hours of creating her RedNote account. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2475l7zpqyo

The Guardian says over 500,000. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/14/tiktok-ban-rednote-app

TIRFs?

Personally I prefer the company of trans-agnostic practicing sexists or TAPS.

The thread is about tiktok being banned in Albania. I thought you might be familiar with Australia's threats to ban tiktok whilst ignoring the crimes other tech companies commit and making no effort to protect Australians from them.

Did you miss the comment I made about Instagram? That was specifically about the content of the site having a negative impact on users.

I commented on your post so yeah I think I managed to click on it. Did you bother to read mine and think of a coherent response before typing? Nah just ignore my efforts to put this in a wider context and dismiss me as a tankie. I'll just dismiss you as racist since you only complain when it's a Chinese company doing it.

I'm all in favour of robust privacy protections like GDPR. I don't support yellow peril bullshit when a Chinese company successfully operates in the same space that US companies do.

Is it a bad thing when political leaders have a presence on social media? Would you prefer it if the leaders of the 2 biggest economies in the world were actively censored and suppressed by these platforms?

Seems like a weird complaint to make.

Everything TikTok is accused of is either just a true for other social media/ website or more so. Thanks to Edward Snowden we know for a fact that US tech companies forward your emails and data to the NSA. There is no evidence of Tiktok sharing any data with any government. Yet it's tiktok that get's threatened with bans rather than facebook and gmail.

Instagram is notorious for making girls feel bad about their appearance and pushing them to anorexia and self harm yet no one's proposing to ban it.

Because the tail doesn't wag the dog.

You may as well ask why Toyota sells right hand drive cars in Japan and why it sells left hand drive cars in USA?

Why do you think that is?

The truth, duh

Not at all. When google operated a search engine in China it looked nothing like the Google you can access in other countries.

Why would google or tiktok handicap themselves and operate a less profitable, less competitive version of their service when that isn't required by local regulations?

Don't forget this line;

The social media platform told the BBC it had found no evidence the person who allegedly stabbed the 14-year-old boy, or the victim himself, had TikTok accounts.

It's a huge failing by government regulators. It appears China is the only country capable of policing tech companies adequately.

Except no one involved uses tiktok
