Nope. I was a kid around the 80s/90s and we had no dedicated computer teachers; although universities probably had access to those types of publications. That information was pretty niche in Australia for regular people, especially kids, and we were always at least 2 years behind the US on everything.

Your chat logs were saved to your own local drive, not a cloud, and you could delete them. Social media was just your web page you made for free on Geocities or Angelfire. Email spam was mostly chain mail. There were no bots whatsoever cluttering the internet. And so on.
And, FWIW, there were no such things as apps. Just programs. Apps started with the smart phone.
