TikTok's annual carbon footprint is likely bigger than Greece's, study

 TikTok's emissions are greater than that of the country that gave us

 Estimates from Greenly, a carbon accounting consultancy based in
Paris, place TikTok's 2023 emissions in the US, UK and France at about
7.6m metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) - higher than
those associated with Twitter/X and Snapchat in the same region.
