One in 12 kids face exposure to online porn
This is one of the lowest risk levels in the EU, largely due to restrictions on online use at home. However, parental protection of internet activity could also limit children’s opportunities for learning and other benefits.
The EU Kids Online survey measured internet use among 25,000 children aged nine to 16 and found that youngsters here are much more at risk of any harm from sexual content than they are from being bullied or from giving away personal data online. The 8% facing sexual risks compares well with the European average of 11%, and much higher risks in Scandinavian countries, for example.
