Nearly half of US teens are online 'constantly,' Pew report finds
Briefly

Nearly half of American teenagers say they are online 'constantly,' highlighting persistent concerns about social media's impact on their mental health, according to Pew Research.
YouTube remains the most used platform, with 90% of teens watching videos, though daily visits slightly declined, which may indicate a shift towards in-person interactions.
X experienced the largest drop in use among teenagers, with only 17% reporting engagement, a decline potentially influenced by Elon Musk's acquisition and the platform's shifting appeal.
Laws worldwide are emerging to restrict teens' social media usage, like Australia’s new age limit; however, it's debated whether they will effectively protect or further isolate vulnerable youth.
