    Only 23 percent of teens say they use Twitter, meaning that we are safe from them here. Their cruel barbs, their silent judgment https://www.pewresearch.org/ ... https://twitter.com/...

    to echo a point @profgalloway made on @jonfavs' podcast this weekend, YouTube and TikTok have a literally unfathomable amount of influence with young people relative to more traditional channels https://www.pewresearch.org/ ... https://twitter.com/...

    The decline in the percentage of young people who use Twitter gives me hope for this nation. But we need to force TikTok to sell to an American company. https://twitter.com/...

    Absolutely armchair quarterbacking here from outside the arena but this makes Facebook look like one of the worst led products of all time. Zuckerberg showing less foresight than the Once-ler. https://twitter.com/...

    For an industry that we're constantly being told by politicians and commentators is full of monopolies who are undefeatable and the status quo will never change without intervention, it's interesting how quickly things seem to be shifting. https://twitter.com/...

    Facebook is not for teens, but I think the service has a decent chance to “lure” them at a later life stage. They may get invited to Facebook groups, transact on the Marketplace, or check news from the Facebook page of their children's schools. $META https://www.pewresearch.org/ …

    The drop off in Facebook use among teens has been well-documented, but goodness that's fairly dramatic. And despite all the attention Tiktok gets as the preferred Gen Z platform. Far more regularly use Youtube. https://twitter.com/...
