Połowa flamandzkiej młodzieży padła ofiarą przestępstwa – cyberflashing na pierwszym miejscu
Aż jedna na cztery młode osoby we Flandrii doświadczyła „cyberflashingu”, czyli niechcianego przesyłania zdjęć o charakterze seksualnym. Wynika to z badania przeprowadzonego przez Platformę Badań nad Młodzieżą (JOP – Jeugdonderzoeksplatform). Z raportu wynika również, że ponad połowa flamandzkich młodych ludzi w ciągu ostatniego roku padła ofiarą przestępstwa. Dane te pokazują skalę zagrożeń, z jakimi mierzy się młode pokolenie w erze cyfrowej.

Komt nog naar uit het onderzoek: ruim de helft van de Vlaamse jongeren is het afgelopen jaar slachtoffer geweest van een misdrijf.

Cyberflashing has sadly become normalised, and we hope that making it a priority offence under the Online Safety Act will increase awareness and encourage action and meaningful consequences, so that it is no longer tolerated in society.

We welcome cyberflashing being made a priority offence in the #OnlineSafetyAct, which will require tech companies to do more to identify it.
This must translate into stronger preventative action to stop it from happening and protect women and girls online.

The plans are part of the government's plans to strengthen the Online Safety Act, which will see cyberflashing become a priority offence, requiring tougher action - as was done with self-harm content.

Cyberflashing is an existing offence, *already* illegal online. Making it a priority offence under the #OnlineSafetyAct is about what platforms have to do to police it. Awful framing from the responsible government minister.
