Arcom has just published the 2023 edition of its digital barometer, and its findings raise questions about the many risks associated with digital usage.
82% of the population aged 12 and over say they connect to the internet every day. This ultra-digitisation of our society is not without consequences, and confronts us with a sharp increase in cybercrime. Thus, 12% of respondents reported having been victims of insults, harassment, or defamation online in the past 12 months., and 41% of 18-25 year olds have been victims of fraud or online fraud.
On social media, more than 4 out of 10 users say they have already used a feature to report inappropriate accounts or content.. Tools particularly used by 18-24 year olds, where they account for 84%!
As a reminder, as trusted flagger on social media platforms, the 3018 has a unique response capacity in France via a fast-track reporting procedure to have harmful content or accounts removed within a few hours.
Are you a victim of online harassment or scams, or exposed to inappropriate content? The 3018 helpline is available every day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. to support you and take action.
