Look through any national newspaper and you&#8217;re likely to find at least one shocking story of abuse or crime linked to social networking sites.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the tone of the debate on social media may have similarities to the novel-reading panic of the 18th Century, public anxiety in the contemporary case is backed up by empirical evidence. The NSPCC has, for instance, reported a doubling of Childline calls related to cyberbullying between 2012 and 2016, and a recent report by the OECD classified 37% of British 15-years olds as &#8216;extreme internet users&#8217;, significantly above the international average (26%).<\/p>\n<p>At Demos, in our upcoming report &#8216;<em>The Moral Web<\/em>&#8216;, we&#8217;ve focused on understanding how young people act on social media, and what motivates their decision-making. We found that a quarter of 16-18 year olds admit to bullying or abusing someone over social media, with many saying that they feel drawn into negative behaviour due to the visibility of communication, leading to a need to be seen &#8216;to act tough&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>The public response to moral panics of the past is generally to look to prohibit or restrict access the object of &#8216;vice&#8217; or censor content deemed particularly harmful. In her analysis of the novel-reading panic of the 1700s, Ana Vogrin\u010di\u010d, finds evidence of significant attempts to &#8216;thwart their spread and restrain novel reading&#8217;. However, she argues that these attempts often proved counterproductive (in this case increasing public attention given to this literary form). <br \/>Again, there are parallels to our current predicament. Much of the contemporary policy response has so far focused on online safeguarding, social media companies are under increasing public pressure to &#8216;do more&#8217; to remove harmful content, and schools and parents often get drawn into attempts to limit access to smartphones, and reduce screen time. <\/p>\n<p>While all worthwhile endeavours, there are both practical and social limits to solely restrictive approaches. From a practical perspective, the nature of social media technologies makes traditional forms of regulation difficult &#8211; for example, constant connectivity through smartphones means that young people are regularly online outside spaces of parental mediation. There&#8217;s also a danger that overly intrusive interference into young people&#8217;s digital worlds becomes counterproductive, encouraging more covert online behaviour, as well as limiting positive developmental opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>Our research for instance found that while a significant minority of young people engaged in abusive behaviour, social media provided the majority with opportunities for honest and empathetic communication (88% said they had given emotional support to a friend over social media) and civic and political engagement (51% had posted about political or social causes). <br \/>So how to address the legitimate concerns that underpin public anxiety? Our research finds that young people&#8217;s character and social and emotional skills are important in shaping how they think and act on social media. Traits of empathy and self-control were, for example, found to be particularly closely linked to reduced likelihood of engaging in bullying behaviour online. <br \/>It&#8217;s here that we feel policy-makers, schools, and parents can make the biggest difference &#8211; empowering young people to make a positive contribution to their online communities by building their social digital skills, together with those wider character traits which guide and shape behaviour. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/peter-harrisonevans\/cyberbullying-demos-report_b_18160980.html?utm_hp_ref=uk-tech&amp;ir=UK+Tech\">view original<\/a><\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\r\n jQuery(document).ready(function() {\r\n    jQuery( \"#tabs_1760\" ).tabs({\r\n    collapsible: true,\r\n    active: false\r\n        });\r\n\tjQuery( \".scroller_1760\" ).width(jQuery( \".scroller_1760\" ).width()+1);\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n  });\r\n  \r\n  <\/script>\r\n  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>check out this post on One In Four Teens Admit To Bullying Someone On Social Media &#8211;
