Modern technologies are inherently ubiquitous and mobile, making internet use the status quo. As our daily lives become increasingly mediated, social media have become ways of being and relating and impact on what we do and who we are. Despite the numerous benefits technology use offers to users, there is accumulating empirical evidence suggesting that problematic technology use is associated with online harms, which can impact the users' mental health and wellbeing detrimentally. Online harms are a public health concern and must be addressed from a multistakeholder perspective, engaging governments, parents, schools, the industry, and healthcare services on an international scale. Governments are working on improving user safety, parents are calling for support by educational establishments to prevent online harms, whilst the technology industry is advised to increase their corporate social responsibility efforts. Meanwhile, healthcare services must be accessible to provide professional support for those affected.
现代技术本质上具有无处不在和可移动的特点，使得互联网使用成为常态。随着我们的日常生活越来越多地通过媒介进行，社交媒体已成为一种生存和交往方式，并影响着我们的行为和身份。尽管技术使用给用户带来了诸多好处，但越来越多的实证证据表明，有问题的技术使用与网络危害相关，这可能会对用户的心理健康和幸福产生不利影响。网络危害是一个公共卫生问题，必须从多利益相关方的角度加以解决，在国际范围内让政府、家长、学校、行业和医疗服务机构参与进来。政府正在努力提高用户安全性，家长呼吁教育机构提供支持以防止网络危害，同时建议科技行业加大企业社会责任力度。与此同时，必须提供医疗服务，以便为受影响者提供专业支持。
