According to UNICEF, the EU has 80 million kids under the age of 18, many of whom will be under 13.
Even if we were to say it was somehow a 50:50 split, that leasts 40 million kids who are potentially to be a part of this data set.
Not all of whom use tiktok of course, but in the absence of data either way, let's assume they all are.
Is the data of 40 million people worth 345 million EUR?
Is the data of 1 person worth (rounded) $9?
