A shockingly high number of Gen Alpha are reportedly using X. According to data from Qustodio, over 30% of 7-9-year-olds have an account on X. Qustodio suggests that many of these young users are drawn to X primarily out of curiosity, as the platform typically lacks content targeting kids. It’s likely many kids discover X by searching for interests online and coming across posts linked in the search results that relate to those discussions. Some parents may not think to block X or similar sites like Reddit because they perceive them as “older” platforms. However, children are still exploring and clicking on anything that captures their interest. (Tech Crunch)
