According to a survey, teenagers are willing to sacrifice their voting rights in order to retain access to social media.

According to a recent survey, a large number of teenagers who use TikTok are willing to sacrifice their right to vote in order to retain access to the widely-used video-sharing platform, indicating that social media remains highly important to young adults.
According to the Reboot Foundation, 59% of young adults who use TikTok stated that they would rather give up their right to vote for a year than lose access to their social media accounts.
The percentage of teenagers who would willingly give up their right to vote in order to maintain social media activity was even greater, with 64% of those between the ages of 13 and 17 expressing this sentiment.
DeSantis supports Kelly Craft in the crucial Kentucky governor's race, which could lead to a major conflict with Trump. On "Fox & Friends First" Tuesday, Evita Duffy-Alfonso, a writer for the Federalist, stated that social media is intentionally designed to be addictive, particularly for young individuals.
It is understandable why some individuals would prioritize keeping their TikTok account, which is highly addictive to young people, over preserving their right to vote.
The discovery serves as evidence against the Democrats' long-standing push to decrease the voting age. Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate and former CEO, intends to propose a constitutional amendment that would increase the voting age to 25, unless an individual has served in the military or as a first responder, or has passed the civics test required for citizenship.
Ramaswamy justified his position by stating that their aim is to instill a sense of civic responsibility in the upcoming generation of Americans.
The proposed plan is to require individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 to fulfill their civic duty by serving in the military or as a first responder for six months, or by passing the same civics test that immigrants must pass to become naturalized citizens and be eligible to vote. This requirement would no longer apply once an individual reaches the age of 25.
The article discusses the negative aspects of TikTok and suggests that it is not just a harmless app. The author argues that it should be deleted. Ramaswamy, on the other hand, believes that the amendment will encourage people to participate in civic activities and make them more knowledgeable about voting.
According to Duffy-Alfonso, it is advisable to cast your vote only if you have knowledge about the issues and the politicians and have given it a considerable thought.
The speaker believes that young people should not be encouraged to vote without careful consideration. They suggest implementing a civics test to weed out those who do not value the vote. There is growing concern about Chinese surveillance and intelligence gathering through TikTok, which is becoming increasingly popular in the US. Republican leaders in Congress are urging President Biden to enforce a national security order from 2020 that would require the sale of all US assets.
The assets of Chinese TikTok stakeholders will be transferred to the United States.
The letter, which was obtained solely by Fox News Digital, pertains to the organization.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) discovered in their 2020 national security report that TikTok presents a clear threat to national security. This is due to the fact that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was found to be receiving personal information of Americans, including email addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details.
