It's the age of regret: gen Z grew up glued to their screens, and missed the joy of being human | Gaby Hinsliff
Briefly

A new study reveals that many teenagers, now young adults, reflect negatively on their social media experiences. Polls indicate that two-thirds of those aged 16 to 24 believe social media causes more harm than good, while three-quarters call for stricter regulations to protect youth. Many express regret over excessive usage, especially among early adopters. Importantly, a high percentage would restrict their own children's access. This shift suggests a collective desire for change and weaning younger generations off screens, while policymakers prepare to address these concerns.
Two-thirds of 16- to 24-year-olds think social media does more harm than good and three-quarters want tougher regulation to protect younger people from it.
Half think they spent too much time on it when they were younger, with regret highest among those who started using social media youngest.
