Is surveillance culture fuelling child cyberstalking?
Children as young as 10 and 11 are being reported for cyberstalking offenses, prompting calls for education on healthy digital relationships. Jess Phillips, Safeguarding Minister, emphasizes the need to address the normalizing of surveillance culture among youth. The increase in cyberstalking incidents, particularly among under-16s, highlights the importance of awareness and prevention efforts. Websites that allow anonymity can facilitate cyberstalking, prompting government measures like Right to Know guidance to aid victims.
