Today we released our 2024 annual report, which includes data on what teens and tweens have experienced over the past year — along with a list of the top apps and platforms where issues arise. In 2024, we processed an astounding 7.9 billion activities on family accounts across texts, email, YouTube, and 30+ apps and social media platforms. This has allowed us to put together a clear picture of how common it is for kids to experience cyberbullying, encounter s*xual content, struggle with d*pression, and more. We urge you to dive into this report to gain a better understanding of your child’s digital world: info.bark.us/4gjBzrC
