The statistic represents the types of main problems French children have encountered on social media in 2020 and 2021. Almost 20 percent had ever encountered a problem on the Internet in 2020, a number which has more than doubled in 2021. More than half of the sample reported having argued with one or more people through the web, followed by 40 percent of children who were insulted online for the year 2020. The same survey asked children which social media activites they engaged the most with, finding out that most of them used these platforms to communicate with their friends and family.
