The witnesses referred to problematic apps. Will they expand on that? When I think of a problematic app, I think of Snapchat and having to have streaks. Children must have 156 streaks or, if they break it, their friends do not think they are friendly with them any more. When going on holiday, they become concerned about Wi-Fi access which is necessary to allow them to keep up with streaks. Children feel compelled and they cannot take a break from anything.
