"57 percent of youth who identify as LGBTQ+ said they have had potentially harmful experiences online, compared to 46 percent of non-LGBTQ+ youth. They also had online sexual interactions at much higher rates than their peers" @platformer
"The platforms with the highest number of minors reported potential harm were Snapchat (26 percent), Instagram (26 percent), YouTube (19 percent), TikTok (18 percent), and Messenger (18 percent)."
"The platforms where the most minors said they had an online sexual interaction were Snapchat (16 percent), Instagram (16 percent), Messenger (11 percent), and Facebook (10 percent)."
I am dismayed by the tech company statements in @CaseyNewton's breakthrough reporting on child safety. Every single platform has stood idly by during the James Charles accusations. Each has prioritized viewership and revenue over child exploitation. platformer.news/p/the-child-sa…
