UK Study: Young People's Mixed Feelings About Internet

A recent UK study asked young people about their internet habits.

Many feel worse after using social media.

About half support "digital curfews" to limit app use at night.

Nearly half would prefer a world without the internet.

Many spend hours online and admit to lying about their online activities.

Experts say tech companies need to create safer, less addictive sites.

Some officials are discussing mandatory cut-off times for apps.

Young people recognize the risks and want tech companies and the government to take action.
