European children’s experiences of cyberhate

Encountering cyberhate is becoming a prevalent experience for children in Europe – at least one in five children aged 11-17 have witnessed such content. In some countries, the proportion is much higher. Marie Bedrošová – a researcher from the Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic) summarises the findings of a new EU Kids Online report investigating the experiences of over 9,000 children from 10 European countries who were surveyed about their encounters with hateful content and messages.
