A new poll studying the attitudes of younger American voters finds that Gen Z voters oppose banning TikTok while millennials support a prohibition, even as a majority of all these younger voters express concerns about China misusing the social media app.
By a 2-to-1 margin, the poll found that voters 42 and under were concerned by the statement, “TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a company that was founded in China and reported to have close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.”
“No doubt, Gen Z loves TikTok — it’s a source of entertainment, advice and revenue for influencers,” Della Volpe said. “Banning it without a clear presentation of facts would be jarring; but what this survey shows is that two thirds of young Americans are concerned about Chinese threats to national security — and Gen Z is more pragmatic that many initially thought.”
TikTok is the most popular social media platform among Gen Z voters, the poll found, with 28% saying it is “made for people like me,” with the next highest vote-getter, Instagram, at 23%.
