Taiwan bans Chinese app RedNote over fraud concerns

Taiwan bans Chinese app RedNote, popular Xiaohongshu, over fraud concerns, blocking access for millions of users. The decision comes after 1,700 fraud cases detected on the platform in Taiwan with losses exceeding $7.9m. Concerns over online shopping scams and data security breaches led to the one-year ban on the app amid heightened scrutiny on Chinese social media platforms like Xiaohongshu by various governments.
