The amount of time the vast majority of youth are spending on the internet far exceeds the daily recommended “screen time,” according to a new federal report.

The vast majority (89 to 96 percent) of youth in grades 6 to 10 exceed the recommended daily screen time of two hours, according to a report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) on July 23, which was first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
