Generation Z trusts YouTube more than other social platforms, Business Insider reports, citing data from a new survey conducted in collaboration with YouGov, writes UNN.

Details

According to a recent survey, of all the major social networks, YouTube leads among Generation Z adults. According to the survey, approximately 59% of Generation Z adults between the ages of 18 and 26 found YouTube to be somewhat or very trustworthy. Only 28% of people found it somewhat or very untrustworthy.

In second place was Instagram, which caused some controversy: it garnered 40% of Generation Z's votes for reliability, but also 45% for unreliability. (Among respondents, 15% said they were undecided).

Of the six platforms, Facebook is doing the worst, with 60% of Generation Z adults calling it somewhat or very untrustworthy. Only 28% of Gen Z identified it as trustworthy.

TikTok comes next: 57% of respondents consider it untrustworthy. In terms of trustworthiness rating, it performed slightly better than Facebook: 30% of Generation Z said that TikTok is somewhat or very trustworthy.
