TikTok is the most popular news source for 12 to 15-year-olds, says Ofcom
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And by "news" we mean "whatever dumb shit an 'influencer' has come up with today to move clicks."
when I was that age, I didn't even have a favorite news source. I just didn't care about news at all, only video games. of course I wouldn't look for "cool" stuff in the newspapers, even then.
One of the first interactions I had with tiktok was when a woman went viral for doing a dance video with some pop song and had text running along the screen about the death of her abusive husband. It was so weird seeing this grown woman do a kids dance to some Kpop song while text is detailing who he beat her. All put on public display forever.
Social media does weird things to people's brains man.
