Call You and Yours: Is time online, time well spent?

If you spend time online, is it time well spent?

The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, says the government will tighten the rules around how teenagers use social media — and he’s ‘open‑minded’ about an Australian‑style ban for under‑16s.

But it isn't just children whose time disappears scrolling through videos.

Doom scrolling, addictive algorithms, over sexualised AI chatbots are all under scrutiny as the PM says he's ready for a fight with the big tech firms... to "crack down" on addiction, and stop what he calls "the never ending scrolling that keeps children hooked on their screens for hours".

So is your time online well spent, or are you and your family trying to cut back?
