Abstract

This article explores how young people – specifically teenagers between thirteen and nineteen years of age – choose to use the digital video-sharing app TikTok. A framework is proposed that moves away from discourses of media panic and toward understandings of media practice, analysing two videos created by teenagers to develop a vocabulary for identifying the diverse and nuanced ways in which young people negotiate their social lives through the use of TikTok.
