Test, learn, repeat: lessons from a social media app trial in UK schools
You're 14. You decided last week you wanted to stop spending so much time on social media. You realised it wasn’t making you feel good. Then, in school on Monday, you sat down at lunch and your friends were quoting a TikTok you hadn’t seen. On Tuesday, you found out…
