A third of US TikTok users are reportedly 14 or younger – CNET [CNET]
If Microsoft, Apple and Twitter buys TikTok before President Donald Trump’s executive order against the Chinese-owned short-video app kicks in next month, it’ll apparently come with a youthful audience. Up to a third of TikTok’s 49 million daily users in the US are 14 years old or younger, according to the New York Times, which cited internal data.
Even though the minimum age for using the app is 13, a former TikTok worker reportedly noted that videos from children younger than that stayed on the app for weeks.
TikTok didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
This story will be updated shortly.
