Half of German Teens Support Social‑Media Age Limits
Germany's Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) commissioned an online survey (fielded by institute Eye Square) of 1,400 12–17‑year‑olds in April–May 2026 and published a Social‑Media‑Report. Roughly half of adolescents support age‑based limits for social platforms — respondents on average favor a minimum age of 14 (TK reports 55% in favor; the survey found 47% favored limits and 8% a full ban). About 80% rate social media as good or mostly good for them, but many are annoyed by advertising (57%) and false or misleading information (52%). Intensive daily use is linked to more negative feelings and physical complaints: 49% of users spending four or more hours per day report frequent or constant low mood. TK urges expanded media‑literacy and prevention measures to balance benefits with youth protection.
Study: 43% Trust Social Media Over Traditional News
A combined reading of reports in HORIZONT and MEEDIA on the Social‑Media‑Atlas 2026 shows 43% of internet users now trust social‑media posts more than editorial news. The representative study of about 3,600 internet users aged 16+, commissioned by PER Agency with IMWF and conducted via Toluna, finds trust in social media rose six percentage points year‑on‑year and is strongest among adults 20–49. Two‑thirds of respondents primarily rely on posts from private contacts; 35% frequently follow private recommendations (Generation Z 47%, Generation Y 46%). Most users are active on platforms and many report encountering misleading or untrue content. The coverage warns that AI‑generated fakes on social platforms pose a growing risk to voter information ahead of September state elections in Germany (Saxony‑Anhalt, Lower Saxony, Berlin, Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern).
