TikTok is Canada's least trusted social media platform: TMU study

TORONTO — TikTok is experiencing the fastest rate of growth among Canadians, but is also the least trusted social media platform in the country, a new report said. However, trust levels for social media platforms declined significantly from 2021, with just one in 10 Canadians having high trust in such apps. Trust in TikTok was particularly low, falling so far that the app replaced Facebook as Canada's least trusted social media organization. Only one in 10 of the people surveyed said they have a high degree of trust in Facebook, TikTok or Twitter. Some 40 per cent per cent had low trust in Twitter, up from 31 per cent in 2021.
