Media consumption among children: Is it really that bad?

Almost every fourth child in Germany uses social media in a risky way, social media addiction among children and young people has doubled since the pandemic: A survey commissioned by DAK-Gesundheit (PDF) seems to confirm a social feeling – namely that evil technology companies lure our offspring into their digital caves and the children no longer find out that constantly hanging out on social media makes them antisocial, inattentive and unhappy. That would actually be alarming. But: Is that actually true across the board?
