Some users are just petty. Ban TikTok for data sharing fears, then switch to another Chinese app out of spite.

Oh my god, this made me laugh!
the majority of the content on the platform is photo slideshows coupled with text, which is why people often view it more as a competitor to Instagram than TikTok.
Which is super ironic given that instagram changed everything to push short video content and compete with tiktok
Other Chinese app?
Haha nice!
“I would rather stare at a language I can't understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one user in a video posted to Xiaohongshu on Sunday.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance. Mark Zuckerberg does not own ByteDance
Don't they do the same things? In fact TikTok spies more stuff, but they just don't sell it to private entities as much.
Tiktok doesn't push neo-Nazi propaganda as aggressively as X did and it doesn't censor news with class consciousness like Meta does.
X is Musk, which is TL;DR quite different
it doesn't censor news with class consciousness like Meta does
Maybe? But they do manually tell the algorithm to heavily favor the elite’s videos with their “heating” tool.
