        @whstancil Theres data on this, though it takes a minute to avoid over-interpreting it. About 6% of adults got news from TikTok either "often" or "sometimes" in 2021.

      @whstancil Of this 6% half were under 30, so 3% of adults. Under 30s are 15% of adults. So around 20% of the demographic sometimes or often got news from TikTok.

    @whstancil There's no evidence in the survey data of the kind of TikTok exclusivity that @Whstancil mentions, as akin to Fox News. Instead you can calculate parallel shares of 18-29 who sometimes/often got news from other social media...

        @whstancil These, numbers add up to way more than 100% but the share of young adults getting news from social media "often" is just 42%.
