Teenagers exposed to 'horrific' content online - and this survey reveals the scale of the problem
67% Informative
More than 1,000 young people aged 14 to 17 in Darlington schools told us what they see and experience online when looking at apps commonly used by teenagers.
40% spent at least six hours a day online - the equivalent of a school day .
75% had been contacted by strangers through social media and online gaming.
Survey raises questions about whether government and tech companies are doing enough to protect children.
The Online Safety Act was passed by MPs in October 2023 .
It is intended to protect users - particularly children - from illegal and harmful content.
Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok insist they take issues of safety and age-appropriate content seriously.
Instagram is rolling out Teen Accounts , which it says will limit who can contact teenagers.
