Kao srednjoškolac u predgrađu Merilenda u Vašingtonu, Danil Kucenko nikada nije mnogo razmišljao o Kini. Međutim, dok se američka vlada spremala da zabrani TikTok prošlog meseca, navodeći zabrinutost za nacionalnu bezbednost zbog toga što je u kineskom vlasništvu, Kucenko je skinuo RedNote, još jednu kinesku aplikaciju za deljenje snimaka, za koju je smatrao da mu daje novi uvid u život u Kini.
The U.S. government has raised concerns about the risks posed by Chinese applications such as TikTok and Temu, citing issues related to national security, privacy, and human rights.

Younger users, in particular, show less concern about privacy, often prioritizing convenience and features. The article also highlights broader concerns about the role of social media, including misinformation and attention spans, beyond the specific issue of Chinese apps.
