Technically anything that goes through US / Five Eyes / Empire ISPs or cables are snooped and copied into massive NSA servers. Anything associated with your IP, inclusing accessing Red Note, google accounts, phone numbers ect which are attached to your Social Security Number, physical address, IRL Identification, phone contacts and meta data. Hell downloading it from the app store, google just told the US gov as well as your Internet Spy Provider.
Just assume you are known. On many lists. The US government knows. It doesn’t even need a warrant. If you registered with a phone number or other social media they know. If you go to red note they know. Same with
. Hello 
hope you’re having a good day.
While Red Note / China might not give two shits or even hand data back to the NSA. The US Gov already copied it and snooped it. They also know what you visit on Red Note and assume they know what you post.
Just might be a bit harder for them to piece together cases from a foreign controlled app that won’t play ball, but they didn"t need to play ball in the first place.
What they don’t control is censorship of what is posted. That is in Red Note and Chinese control
that is why they wanted to ban TikTok.
Really? How?
Your IP / MAC address / Device and meta data accessed IP and page address at aa:bb time. They can just go to the page itself or look up meta data on your device.
The data that comes back to your device or at least the locations / posts are copied too. At least locations, devices, time accessed. Your ISP spies on your traffic for the feds. The info is copied on the undersea cables going into and from the Empire as well. The mirror goes both ways. What is displayed or recieved on your device is not necessarily secret despite encryption or VPNs.
Unless you got some really good deep cover techniques just assume they know.
