1. Quintin said the TikTok ban and the user migration to RedNote has parallels to age-verification restrictions in certain U.S. states that have led to the largest pornography website, Pornhub, being banned. In both cases, Quintin said that users jump to less- moderated platforms that tend to be even less safe. “It is no surprise that users who cannot participate on the banned platform will have their privacy violated again since they won’t be protected when they flock to other platforms,” he said. “This outcome was foreseeable and could have been avoided by addressing privacy harms at the source and enacting strong consumer-protection laws, rather than a knee-jerk reaction banning the latest perceived threat.”
