🤔How is Gen Z experiencing the digital world? Recent research published by Snap Inc. reported that: ➡️23% of the 6,004 GenZers surveyed in six countries said they were victims of sextortion. More than half (51%) reported having been lured into certain online situations or having engaged in risky digital behaviors that could have led to sextortion. These include being “groomed” (37%), being “catfished” (30%), being hacked (26%), or sharing intimate imagery online (17%). ➡️Gen Z’s involvement with intimate imagery online remained a blindspot for parents. Just 1 in five (21%) parents of teens said they thought their teen had ever been involved with sexual imagery online. In fact, more than a third (36%) of teens admitted to such involvement – a 15-percentage-point gap. ➡️24% of Gen Z respondents said they had seen some sort of AI-generated images or videos that were sexual in nature. Of those who claimed to have seen this type of content, 2% said they believed the imagery was of a minor. 🎥Watch WeProtect Global Alliance's Protect Us film to see how AI is posing risks to young people through three stories based on real life scenarios: https://lnkd.in/eZ6tY6c4
