47% Of Gen Zers Wish TikTok Was Never Invented

47% of Gen Zers wish TikTok was never invented, a survey of 1,006 young adults found. While 52% say social media has benefited them, 29% say it’s hurt their lives. However, respondents did not seem to feel negatively toward Netflix, YouTube, or messaging apps. “Gen Z does not heavily regret the basic communication, storytelling and information-seeking functions of the internet,” Psychologist Jonathan Haidt said. 69% of respondents support a law requiring social media companies to develop child-safe options for young users.
