Ricky RigatoniIt's only okay when MY favorite country does it.
Cloudless ☼Don’t forget China blocks tiktok too.
PatFustyChina doesn’t block Douyin
I believe they use a different backend/storage. Different content shows up depending if you are searching from Tiktok or Douyin. Perhaps someone from Bytedance is curating select content from Tiktok for Douyin.
Either way, if I put a video on Tiktok it does not mean Chinese users on Douyin will see it.
Tiktok and Douyin are not the same - China Social Media
TikTok, known as the international version of the Chinese successful short video app Douyin, is a global hit. Despite Bytedance’s efforts to present Douyin and TikTok as being the same product, they are actually two separate entities. Douyin, (抖音, literally “shaking sound” in Chinese) is a short video media app owned by China’s young tech
I don’t understand why you guys are trying to educate me on how Bytedance operates. It’s the same as how Weixin and WeChat work. China wants to moderate and curate Douyin but you guys still expect China not to get involved in Tik Tok. Sure it’s content is different but it’s literally the same thing with the same backdoor accessibility.
Hilariously, you can interpret what I said in two ways:
I’m of the latter camp, personally.
What I don’t understand is the sentiment that China would want to let Tik Tok run amok but drills down on Douyin. All while at the same time they say “see China doesn’t allow Tik Tok either, it’s nothing like their child friendly great alternative Douyin”.
Flying SquidChina allows TikTok to run amok to do damage. Why would they want to do damage in their own country? Of course they would restrict it there.
I think we are on the same page here
