Terrifying truth about smartphones exposed

‘We won’t let them get away with it’: Report argues TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat should be banned for users under the age of 18

It goes without saying that the convenience of smartphones has made aspects of life easier, especially for people working in fast-paced digital environments. As more apps emerge, major players are ramping up their tactics to compete for our attention via increasingly addictive features that are specifically designed to keep you hooked.

The problem is, if adults are struggling to keep their digital addictions in check, how on Earth do we expect children will react? Talk to anyone under 40 and chances are they’ll tell you they’re a slave to Instagram reels, which are now becoming rapidly specialised and in-tune with every individual user to feed them exactly what they want.

“Before the age of six, no child needs a screen in order to develop,” Mr Mouton said. “In fact, screens can stop them developing properly at this age.” “Tech is and will remain a fantastic tool, but it has to act in people’s service, not people being reduced to serving a product,” he said, adding that children had their “eyesight, their metabolism, intelligence, concentration and cognitive processes” impacted by extended use.

The report came as TikTok announced the suspension of a feature in its spin-off TikTok Lite app in France and Spain.
