Dominic Holden comments on the potential cybersecurity risks surrounding RedNote and TikTok, in Yahoo! News

Posted on: January 15th, 2025 by Natasha Cox

Director Dominic Holden comments on the potential cybersecurity and data protection risks of downloading RedNote, the social media platform which users are downloading before the potential US TikTok ban, in Yahoo! News.

Dominic’s comments were published in Yahoo! News, 14 January 2025, and can be found here

“Like TikTok, RedNote is owned by a Chinese company which potentially raises the same privacy and data concerns that led to TikTok’s possible ban. 

“Whilst the app itself does not appear to be dangerous, users concerned about their data privacy and how their data is to be used by RedNote, may be slow to adopt it until more is known

“There is also the further risk that as RedNote gains popularity, as a Chinese-owned company, it too may need to deal with the same regulatory issues TikTok has faced. Failure to do so could result in a future ban or legal action against RedNote.”
