CYBERBULLING IN FRANCE

FRANCE’S education minister urged teachers to be vigilant after a bizarre cyberharassment campaign erupted among pupils on Friday targeting those born in 2010. The viral hashtag #anti2010 has alarmed parents because it involves 10and 11-year-olds in the sixth grade – which marks the entry into secondary school. The origins of the insults and online threats are unclear but appear to have emerged on the TikTok video sharing platform that is hugely popular with young people, possibly in response to video games.
