Will Americans get banned from RedNote before the U.S. government has a chance to ban RedNote?

Summary

Americans are posting videos about 3D-printed guns on the Chinese video app RedNote, despite the content being illegal in China.

While some users are uncomfortable with the topic, others see it as an opportunity for cultural exchange.

The future of TikTok remains uncertain as the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the ban.

    Please answer the question. Why on Earth do you think I have the remotest interest in where you live?

        Easier question: Why on Earth do you think I care about your existence in the universe at all beyond when you respond to my posts?

            In other words, you’re aware that your existence is essentially meaningless to me. Sorry, you’ll never matter to me even a fraction of what I matter to you.

            And please do claim that I don’t matter at all to you which is why you’re constantly engaging with me unprompted and getting personal immediately.

                No, I don’t matter. I am of absolutely no importance and only a fool or an idiot or a liar would claim otherwise. Which are you?

                Edit: I take that back. I matter to two people for the time being and when I cease to be of use, they will be relieved to no longer have to pretend to like me.

                    And it’s still true. Only a fool, an idiot or a liar would claim I matter to anyone but two people and you aren’t either of them.

                    And with any luck, I will not matter to either of them within two years, rather than four, and then they can stop pretending to love me and I won’t have to wait all four years or find a doctor to end things.
