About this episode
Sometimes, after a long day speaking English, former WBUR podcast fellow Cici Yu just wants to zone out and spend time on the internet where everyone is speaking her native language, Chinese. Her app of choice? Xiaohongshu, or RedNote. So, when Cici logged on recently to find a feed filled with English-speaking Americans, she was surprised.
Show notes:

"More speech and fewer mistakes" (Meta)"Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'" (BBC)
