Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu is scrambling to boost its ability to moderate English -language content.

Hundreds of thousands of American users suddenly joined the platform in anticipation of TikTok potentially being banned in the United States on Sunday .

China ’s Cyberspace Administration has reportedly grown concerned about content being shared by foreigners on the platform.

Xiaohongshu is a domestic Chinese social media platform that blatantly removes content deemed unacceptable by the Chinese government.

The fact that Americans are now flocking to the site demonstrates the ineffectiveness of trying to ban a single app like TikTok in the first place, says Funk.
