TikTok refugees flock to RedNote: Why users should exercise caution, report explains

The potential ban of TikTok in the United States has sparked a wave of interest in the Chinese social media platform RedNote, known domestically as Xiaohongshu or Little Red Book. The app, often described as China’s answer to Instagram, has seen a meteoric rise in downloads, with its popularity soaring on the US Apple App Store.
