Excessive Internet Use by Young Men Called Top Challenge
Original: Young Men’s Excessive Internet Use ‘Foremost Challenge of Our Time’

The claim frames heavy online activity — from gaming to endless scrolling — as a defining social problem affecting a generation of men, with potential consequences for education, work and relationships. The statement has struck a chord in ongoing debates about screen time, male disengagement and the wider effects of digital life.
Why now: Concern about young men's heavy internet use and its social and educational impact is a live public debate.
