Better Internet for Kids

This is an educational activity designed to foster critical thinking among students regarding information generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Students are encouraged to analyse, cross-reference, and verify AI-generated content, thereby learning to identify potential errors, biases, or unreliable information.

This content is part of the ‘Understanding AI’ awareness campaign regarding young people's use of artificial intelligence, aimed at the youth themselves and those around them (teachers, families, etc.).

Knowing how to identify and deal with a cyberbullying situation enables students to play an active role in the school's zero-tolerance policy regarding cyberbullying.

In this Kahoot activity, designed for young people, they are presented with various questions regarding online behaviour, cyberbullying, and empathy, prompting them to reflect and respond.

By playing “Now it’s your turn!” (“¡Ahora te toca a ti!”), young people will learn to put a stop to cyberbullying by developing empathy. The game encourages them to step into the shoes of a victim, a friend, a family member, or a peer.

Creating a positive online environment so that everyone can enjoy the internet is a shared responsibility. Therefore, engaging young people by presenting various scenarios and providing them with resources for action is crucial to reversing disrespectful behaviour on social media or in online games.

A classic game for learning how to stand up to cyberbullying, based on three key points:

• Support the victim; don't leave a classmate on their own.
• Take action and ask a trusted adult for help.
• Respect others and do not share humiliating messages.

Point de Contact, alongside Féministes contre le cyberharcèlement and #StopFisha, has published the results of the first national survey on gender-based and sexual cyberviolence (CVSS). Launched in June 2025, the survey gathered 2,136 testimonies, including 1,209 victims, revealing a mass, structurally gendered phenomenon that calls for urgent political action.

Key figures include:

• 1,209 victims surveyed.
• 82% of victims are women or girls.
• 56% experienced cyberviolence while still minors.
• 63% faced repeated abuse over time.

Point de Contact, designated trusted flagger by Arcom (the French independent administrative agency) in March 2025 under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), has published its 2025 Annual Report on report volumes, processing and cybercrime trends, alongside its regulatory, research and awareness-raising activities for the year.

Key figures include:

• 122,169 reports received (+186% vs. 2024).
• 45,825 pieces of content qualified as illegal.
• 35,217 child sexual abuse web pages identified.
• Gender-based/sexual cyberviolence content up 250%.

As a trusted flagger recognised by Arcom (the French independent administrative agency) under Article 22 of the Digital Services Act (DSA), Point de Contact has published its first Transparency Report, detailing the notifications sent to online platforms and the resulting content removals for 2025.

Key figures include:

• 29,640 notifications sent.
• 28,800 pieces of content removed (97% removal rate).
• 99.88% removal rate for child protection content.

Point de Contact publishes the first report dedicated to nihilistic violent extremism and the True Crime Community in France, co-authored with researcher Alexandre Rodde and Point de Contact's director Alejandra Mariscal Lopez, with a foreword by Marc-André Argentino. The report maps identified cases nationwide and analyses the online strategies, recruitment patterns and moderation challenges these emerging movements pose, linked to child sexual exploitation and extreme violence.

For Safer Internet Day, Point de Contact and Unaf (Union nationale des associations familiales) published the first awareness guide on trusted flaggers, helping families understand their role and how to report illegal content online.

The guide is built around three goals: understanding the role of trusted flaggers under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), acting through effective reporting, and supporting families facing difficult situations.

Point de Contact and Fondation Droit d'Enfance (PARÉ programme) have published a joint report on how child sexual exploitation has shifted toward digital spaces, and on "digital outreach" practices used to reach at-risk minors online. Drawing on a study group of field associations and researchers, the report puts forward ten recommendations for a structured public response.
