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. Anyone that argues 'bit China do good seeeeee' is obviously masking their love for the red boot flavor. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] papertowels@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Hilariously, you can interpret what I said in two ways: China do good by blocking kid access China do bad by limiting kid exposure internally while letting tik Tok run amok internationally I'm of the latter camp, personally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PatFussy@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) China 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago I think we are on the same page here permalink fedilink source parent [–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago 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. https://chinasocialmedia.net/tiktok-and-douyin-are-not-the-same/ permalink fedilink source parent
