00:00Downloads of Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu, or Red Note, surged in Taiwan over the weekend,
00:06reaching number one on Apple's App Store.
00:09That's despite a government order the internet providers block it.
00:13Authorities say Xiaohongshu puts users at risk,
00:16noting the platform has been linked to more than 1,700 fraud cases.
00:30But the main opposition, Kuomintang, is blasting the move, saying it's an attack on freedom of speech.
00:51Experts say the ban isn't just because the app is Chinese,
00:55but more because it's unwilling to comply with Taiwanese laws.
01:00Xiaohongshu's today's main issue is that he has been in the last few years
01:03for the media.
01:05The media has been linked to the media platform on the media.
01:07The media is responding to the government's demand.
01:11The media has been warned to only be denied.
01:12It's a very common standard.
01:16At some degree, it means that it doesn't represent
01:18Xiaohongshu's no longer想 to be tied to the users' gun
01:21against the users' gun.
01:23Or other things that have been tried to make the issue of an anti-drama.
01:25To provide an equal advantage to the use of the government to help and help them.
01:29And even some of the app's users say it does at least need oversight.
01:38We all have a lot of different kind of alternatives like Instagram or like TikTok.
01:43So I think banning this app, maybe it's not really like a symbol to deny the freedom of speech.
