According to a survey conducted in the United States in 2022, 68 percent of pre-teens were using social media applications. Overall, 47 percent of respondents aged 11 to 12 years were using TikTok, and 31 percent were using Snapchat. Both TikTok and Snapchat state that users of their apps must be at least 13 years of age, with the latter being in compliance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Even though Discord and Facebook also have age restrictions of 13 years, 25 percent and 16 percent of pre-teens were using the online platforms, respectively.
