Due to all this, more than 10,000 s between the ages of 16 and 35 were interviewed on TruePublic. The main topic of the survey was TikTok. 51% of the participants declared their sadness related to Trump's decision to ban the app, and only 21% ed the president in his actions. The rest, i.e. 28%, is a group of people who do not care about the further course of the case.

If you're surprised by polarization, just wait until you see the most terrifying statistic of the whole list. It turns out that 83% of TikTok s don't care much about the Chinese government collecting information about them. All the more reason they don't wouldn't to delete an app for such a reason. Only 41 of respondents consider that China should be held able for private data abuses.

And what alternatives do Americans choose? Only 24% would choose Reels (new Instagram feature), 28% would bet on Triller, and 27% would go for Byte. However, if they had Tiktok as an option, they would choose it in 88% of cases. This could be influenced by a force of habit (not to say addiction). 45% of the gen Zs spend at least one hour a day using this app. The above statistics show perfectly how popular and trusted it is among young people.
