"Cyberbullying of young internet users takes the form of intimidation, harassment, rumour-spreading, threats or actual sharing of embarrassing or private images, attempts to intimidate or blackmail. Cyberbullying causes real psychological trauma to a young person."
"Digital wellbeing isn't really about cutting screen time, it's about adding meaning, direction, and purpose to a teen's online life so the time they spend there counts for something."

Australia became the first country to enforce social media ban for under-16s in December 2025. UK did the same June 2026. Greece, Austria, and France are moving toward similar restrictions. Uganda (East African countries) currently has no such laws. Should E. Africa adopt bans?

A January 2026 study found that teens aged 6 to 17 who spent 4 or more hours on the screen daily had 61% higher odds of depression and 45% higher anxiety than lower-use peers.
According to Uganda Communications Commission’ s Children's Online Survey (2020) -"Ugandan Children's Online Survey 2020"- one in five Ugandan children had encountered sexual content online, with urban teens and older adolescents facing the highest exposure.
