Whoa, I didn't know tiktok was so popular. it's like 1/8 of the entire world population, and considering that only about 70% of the world has internet access, it's like 18% of all internet users.
Or are lots of these bot accounts, like other social media, and the real numbers are lower?
"Initial analysis from us shows a clear picture: up to 97% of all traffic coming through TikTok could be detected as automated bot requests by our software. These are frightening figures that cost many advertising companies a lot of money and waste their ad spend."
Also:
"In 2022 alone, TikTok removed:
Over 256 million accounts (including accounts suspected to be under the age of 13 and fake accounts – 282% increase vs. 2021)
Almost 160 million fake accounts (increase of over 1,200% (!) compared to 2021)
These numbers are only a fraction compared to Facebook’s total of over 6.5 billion fake accounts removed in 2021."
