lol scale up what? "local" in China means "1.4 billion possible users"

Edit: just asked my wife who does infrastructure at FAANG and apparently, this is a very ignorant comment. Shame on everyone who upvoted.

Their marketing department is lagging it seems. They are running Chinese language ads on YouTube to US audiences.

It has a still frame of someone skiing or snowboarding, a QR code and the Chinese language description. Wut?

Wouldn’t the same TikTok ban law just catch up to this one too?

Possibly, if you're American. The rest of the world will continue to have access.

Potentially, but the ban was never about solving a problem it was about being seen doing something. The average old person voter who isn’t serially online has never heard of RedNote and probably won’t for many years, so the skeletons in congress don’t have to address it.

Yes, technically speaking as passed the ban could be enforced against any app controlled by a "Foreign Adversary" as deemed by the gov (so China, Russia etc.) and is determined to be of significant threat to national security.

How hard can it be to scale that up? Certainly the growth is big but at their scale they should already have the orchestration in place.

If Ive learned one thing in my life, it's that software and hardware are always super easy and it's never that hard at all to do anything large or unexpected.
