"Just a few days after more than 700 million new users flooded RedNote-which Time noted is "the most apolitical social platform in China"-rumors began swirling that RedNote may soon start segregating American users and other foreign IPs from the app's Chinese users."
700 million? What is the 2024 est. population of the US. Not even half that number.
It appears to be a mistake -- the Reuters article says "In only two days, more than 700,000 new users joined Xiaohongshu", which makes more sense.
The guess is that it was a confusion about "700M" somewhere.
