46% of US Teens Use the Internet 'Almost Constantly'
We know that teenagers spend a lot of time online, but the Pew Research Center has been finding out a little more about what some of them are doing.

A survey of more than 1,300 young people in the US, aged between 13 and 17, found that 97% use the internet every day. And 46% said they use it "almost constantly" — an increase from 24% in 2014 and 2015.

The new survey, done in April and May 2022, also found that YouTube is now the most popular app among teens, with 95% using the video site, and 19% saying they are on it "almost constantly."

TikTok is the next most popular app, with 67% saying they use it.

Things have changed over the years, however: in Pew's 2014 and 2015 survey, Facebook was the most popular site among teens, with 71% saying they used it. But that fell to just 32% in the 2022 survey.

Twitter has also become less popular — 23% of teenagers say they now use it, down from 33% seven years ago.

There are some differences between the way boys and girls spend their time online.

Pew said that boys are more likely to be on YouTube, Twitch and Reddit, while girls are more likely to use TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.

It has never been easier for young people to use these sites and apps — 95% of teens said they have a smartphone, while 90% have access to a computer.

Man Fired for Keeping Webcam Off Awarded $73,000
A remote worker who was fired for refusing to keep his camera on while working has been awarded about $73,000 by a Dutch court.

The man, whose name was not made public, had been working for the US software company Chetu in the Netherlands since 2019. On August 23, 2022, while working remotely, he was told by his employer that he should keep his webcam on all day for online training.

The employee said he didn't feel comfortable being monitored on camera for nine hours, and refused to do so. He added that the company could already see all activities on his laptop and that he was also sharing his screen.

But Chetu said that having a camera on was no different from being watched in an office. And the company fired him.

Finding this unfair, the man took the company to court in the Netherlands. He told the court that he hadn't been given clear enough reasons for being fired, and that asking him to keep his camera on for the whole workday was against his right to privacy.

And the court agreed. Chetu now must pay the man about $73,000.

While using a webcam to check on employees may not be very common, computer programs that monitor employee activity have become popular.

A survey from 2021 found that 60% of US companies with remote workers were using employee monitoring software, and 81% of those companies found that their workers were more productive while being monitored.
