Xiaohongshu Is still in the App Store. I didn’t know if it still would be because I read that the same law that banned TikTok would also apply and I’ve read that bytedance’s other app lemon8 or something like that is also shut down in the US

When NYC has bills up the ying-yang and 5 or 6 years on the NYPD force can earn one well over $100,000/year plus sweetheart pensions, being under-funded and under-staffed follows suit.
