‘If 31% of Second Graders Are Actually Using X, I Will Eat My Hat’ ⇥ businessinsider.com

Katie Notopoulos, Business Insider:

A company that makes parental monitoring software called Qustodio recently released a report about app use for kids and teens based on its analysis of anonymous data from about 180,000 of its US users. Some of the information about what young people are doing online is what you’d expect: teenagers love watching TikTok and using Snapchat; younger kids under 13 are most interested in Roblox (53%) and YouTube (52%).

But there was one statistic that made my head spin: 31% of 7- to 9-year-olds use the X (Twitter) app.

I’m sorry, but … I can’t believe there’s any way in any possible universe that’s true.

The same report found 29% of kids aged 7–9 use Disney Plus and, I am sorry, if you have any faith in this data, please ensure your bullshit detector is better calibrated.
