Algerian Youth Addiction to Social Media: TikTok as a Case Study

This study aimed to examine Algerian youth's addiction to social media, focusing on the TikTok platform, and to explore its impact on young people's social lives and deviant behaviour within society. It also sought to investigate the primary motives driving the use of TikTok, which has recently sparked significant debate, especially within Algerian society. Today, the TikTok application is found on most smartphones and is heavily used across various demographic and age groups. One of the key findings of this study is the identification of several underlying factors associated with the use of this platform, including social interaction, imitation, loneliness, and addiction.
