Own It - app to improve online wellbeing

The Own It app will be available in early 2019 and will use machine-learning to support young people beginning to use the internet and social media. Assistance for young people includes: considering how the use of certain words could be perceived by others; deciding whether to share personal information on social media; understanding how phone use late at night can affect wellbeing.
