Online Nation is an annual report that looks at what people are doing online, how they are served by online content providers and platforms, and their attitudes to and experiences of using the internet. Much of the data is drawn from Ofcom’s Online Experiences Tracker and Ipsos iris. Findings show:

• Older children were more concerned than younger ones about the time they spent online.
• One in five 8- to 15 year-olds have a user age of at least 18 on a social media platform.

Teenage boys were more likely to encounter content showing dangerous stunts, while girls were more likely to encounter potential harms relating to body image.
