That's terrifying. Not even because the source is a Chinese company, it's that it's a social media company and not a trustworthy source
Do you think they're watching news videos on TikTok? It's just where they hear their peers talk about stuff.
And the article has a graph showing those same kids (from the UK btw) use BBC as their most common news source. It's just they broke down "BBC" into a bunch of subcategories till a social media company was #1.
Because "12-15 year olds in the UK use the UK's largest news organization as their source for news" wouldn't get many clicks.
Yeah that's definitely misleading click bait there
