97% of young people in the EU use internet daily. Today, on Safer Internet Day, Europe takes a step forward in protecting and empowering young people online.
Together with Commissioner Glenn Micallef, we presented an Action Plan Against Cyberbullying aimed at giving children, parents, carers and educators the tools they need to prevent, report and combat cyberbullying.

It's about time the #EU did something against #cyberbullying.
In Germany, 62 % of teenagers (14-17 y.o.) have some kind of experience with it. This number has been increasing since it was first analyzed in this study in 2021 (51%). 16 % of teens have been victims of cyberbullying themselves, where lower educated teens were more effected than higher educated ones.
In most cases, #WhatsApp was the place where CB happened (50%), followed closely by #TikTok (43%) and other #BigTech platforms.
Being insulted was the most common way of CB, followed by rumors that were spread, social isolation and posting of pictures or videos that were embarrassing.
