Share of French children talking to strangers while playing online video games 2020

Published by

About 84 percent of children aged 10 to 17 have reported playing video games online by themselves. One of the dangers or qualities of the online world being the anonymity, meeting strangers online through gaming seems fairly easy. Thus, when children engage in such activities, most of them (almost half) do encounter strangers, that they do not know in real life. For 15 to 17 year olds, this occurred more often in France in 2020 than for children aged 10 to 14.

When you log into online games, do you find yourself chatting with other players that you don’t know in real life?
