How Much Time Will Americans Get Back if TikTok is Banned?
App Users Share How They Anticipate a TikTok Ban Will Change Their
Habits
GAINESVILLE, Fla., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent survey by
HostingAdvice.com reveals Americans' varied opinions on a potential
nationwide ban of TikTok. Amid ongoing debates and legislative
scrutiny, the survey highlights how different demographic groups
and TikTok users feel about the ban and its impact on their daily
lives. How much time would they get back sans scrolling? What do
they think about common TikTok talking points in the media?
Key Findings
- 51% of Americans surveyed oppose a TikTok ban, 32%
support it, and 17% feel neutral.
- The average Gen Z TikTok user would gain over 2 hours
back in their day if TikTok were banned.
- 1 in 10 TikTok users think a ban would positively
impact them.
- More than 1 in 10 Gen Z TikTok users (13%) disagree with
the statement: "I have control over how much I use TikTok. I could
quit tomorrow if I wanted to."
Does Your State Support or Oppose a TikTok Ban?
- Only five states have stronger support than opposition when
asked about a TikTok ban: Residents of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Missouri, and Oregon.
- Washington was the most
divisive state, with the fewest residents electing 'neutral': 39%
supported and 50% opposed.
- The American South has strong representation among the states
that most oppose a TikTok ban: Residents of Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia.
Implications for Policy
Although a TikTok ban is
viewed as a bipartisan issue, states tend to follow party lines on
the topic, according to our survey results. Almost all of the
states that most support a ban are historically blue, while those
that oppose it are traditionally red.
Furthermore, 36% of TikTok users believe the Chinese government
can access their data through TikTok. This concern is shared by 46%
of Republicans and 34% of Democrats.
"There's a stark difference in how the U.S. government and U.S.
TikTok users view the platform's threat to Americans," said
HostingAdvice technology expert Joe
Warnimont. "Perhaps some TikTok users see freedom of choice
as more important than averting China's gaze, while others might rebuke
further governmental regulations."
Methodology
To find out more about how Americans feel
regarding a potential TikTok ban, HostingAdvice.com surveyed more
than 3,200 people: First, they surveyed a random sample of
