Premium Content Subscriber only Since the COVID pandemic began, one in three teenagers report they have been contacted by online predators - but there are ways CQ parents can regulate home internet use. Research released on Tuesday by the eSafety Commissioner, reveals teenagers spend around two hours a day online and have four different social media accounts. "Our research shows that while teens' increased use of technology offers many benefits, there is a distinct downside - dealing with negative online experiences such as unwanted contact and cyber-bullying," said eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.
