Næsten halvdelen af alle unge i England ville hellere leve uden internet

70 procent af unge mellem 16 og 21 får det dårligt, når de har været på sociale medier. Halvdelen af dem støtter, at man får regler for, hvornår man er på nettet.
Og næsten halvdelen ville hellere leve i en tid uden internettet.
Det konkluderer en undersøgelse fra England.

‘The study, conducted by the British Standards Institution, surveyed 1,293 young people and found that 27% of respondents have shared their location online with strangers.

In the same survey, three-quarters said they had spent more time online as a result of the pandemic, while 68% said they felt the time they spent online was detrimental to their mental health.

Andy Burrows, the chief executive of the suicide prevention charity the Molly Rose Foundation, said it was “clear that young people are aware of the risks online and, what’s more, they want action from tech companies to protect them”.
