联合国儿童基金会最新发布的调查报告揭示了全球青少年面临的严重网络性虐待威胁。该报告涵盖21个国家约21000名青少年,发现过去一年内五分之一的12至17岁青少年遭遇在线性虐待1。调查数据表明,超过1500万儿童接触过不需要的性内容,900万人被强迫进行性对话或分享性图像,约400万人的性图像未经同意被分享1。
施虐问题的严重程度进一步体现在受害者的沉默上:41%的受害者从未向任何人透露遭遇,不足1%的案件被报告给当局1。57%的施虐者是受害者已知的人1。Meta平台(包括Facebook、Instagram和WhatsApp)成为此类骚扰的主要渠道,占60%的性骚扰案件1。
为应对这一危机,部分国家和科技企业已启动应对措施。Meta同意支付171亿美元与美国各州和解,承诺限制青少年每日使用时间为2小时1。在政策层面,澳大利亚计划在2025年12月率先实施社交媒体16岁年龄限制1,英国则计划于2027年实施类似措施1。法国已通过15岁年龄限制法案,但该法案遭宪法委员会阻止1。
A new UNICEF report reveals that one in five adolescents aged 12 to 17 experienced online sexual abuse over the past year 1. The study, which surveyed approximately 21,000 young people across 21 countries, uncovered the widespread nature of such exploitation among global youth 1.
The scale of the problem is substantial. More than 15 million children were exposed to unwanted sexual content, while 9 million were coerced into sexual conversations or forced to share sexual images 1. An additional 4 million had their sexual images shared without consent 1. Compounding these numbers, 41 percent of victims never disclosed their experiences to anyone, and fewer than 1 percent of incidents were reported to authorities 1. The perpetrators were often known to victims, with 57 percent of abusers being people the children already knew 1.
Meta platforms—encompassing Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—emerged as the primary venues for such abuse, accounting for 60 percent of sexual harassment cases 1. In response to growing concerns, several jurisdictions are implementing age-restriction policies. Meta has agreed to a $17.1 billion settlement with U.S. states that includes limiting daily usage for adolescents to two hours 1. Australia is set to become the first country to enforce a social media age restriction of 16 years, beginning in December 2025 1, while the United Kingdom plans to introduce similar age restrictions by 2027 1. France passed a 15-year-old age restriction law, though its implementation was blocked by the Constitutional Council 1.
