One thing about this particular phenomenon that the article doesn't take into account is that Gen Z is a lot more online than boomers are, hence they are exposed more often to the various dangers.
And not even entirely by choice, a boomer - fairly well off financially - can reasonably spend years without touching the internet if they don't work.
Imma fail my classes if I don't sign on once a day, and depressed as fuck in my apartment if I can't even watch Netflix lmao
Good luck paying your rent without the internet too.

Read the article? Gen-Z doesn't read articles! /s
They acknowledge their bias but don't account for it in their numbers, smells like statistics manipulation to me
