With all the furor about TikTok and its possible banning, we are now being told that TikTok has set a one-hour daily limit for teens. Hey, no prob dude. They’ll easily find a way round that. Here’s the best bit... Research has shown that social media is contributing to a mental health crisis among young people, and TikTok has become the most-used app among U.S. teens. A 2022 Pew Research Center survey found 67% of teens reporting that they use TikTok, and 16% saying they use it “constantly.” In other words, social media is driving kids nuts. Or at least, nuttier than they already are.
Good for the face paint industry, though!
