And it is that, today, we know that social networks have a great reach, even becoming a very important tool for new generations which, by the way, have created a new way of communicating with each other.
In this context, TikTok -as is the case with other platforms- is the social network that, since the arrival of the pandemic, has been placed in the preference of users, to such an extent that, currently, the ByteDance platform already has more one billion monthly active Internet users.
