As good digital students, Instagram and TikTok have implemented emergency call buttons to fight against cyber-harassment. Thanks to a partnership with the e-Enfance association, users will be able to contact 3018 directly.

Concretely, on Instagram, any person who reports harassment will see a telephone call button appear which allows them to immediately reach the listeners, psychologists and lawyers of 3018. On TikTok, no direct call button, but those who report a case are now offered a link which sends them to the 3018 site.

This call button is an instrument desired for a long time by the e-Enfance association. “We have been asking for a safety button for years, we have also asked for it at European level,” said Justine Atlan, general director of e-Enfance. “It took a little time to figure out, but we are pleased that direct access has been built in,” she added.

“This will allow young victims, once their report has been established, to benefit from immediate specific support,” she said.

As reported by AFP, a quarter of families have already been confronted with the issue of cyberharassment of a minor, according to a survey carried out for e-Enfance dating from mid-October: 15% of primary school students have already been confronted with it. , 25% of middle school students and 27% of high school students.
