Online Behaviours

Ofcom has published its annual report looking at the online behaviours and habits of children and adults in the UK and how they are served by online content providers and platforms.

Findings show:

  • older children were more concerned than younger ones about the time they spent online;
  • one in five 8- to 15 year-olds have a user age of at least 18 on a social media platform;
  • teenage boys were more likely to encounter content showing dangerous stunts, while girls were more likely to encounter potential harms relating to body image.
