Incomprehensible.

An outburst of hate speech targeting adolescents born in 2010 has been falling since the start of the school year on social networks.

Posts on TikTok with the hashtag # anti2010 are flourishing and being liked by thousands of users.

Videos that mock, insult or incite violence towards these minors who have just turned 11 this year.

Marginal since November 2020, the situation has grown to such an extent that the FCPE (Association of Parents of Adherent Students) called on the government in a press release to ask it to act urgently.

"The phenomenon has largely gone beyond the playgrounds or altercations at the exit of establishments, where educational staff can still identify and act", assures the association which evokes a campaign of cyberstalking.

Afraid to go to school

"It is unacceptable that children are victims of an appeal to hate, a call to death on social networks associated with ultraviolent images," continues the FCPE.

Especially since the reasons for this relentlessness seem completely insignificant.

The rage of many cyber-stalkers would come from the fact that young people born in 2010 and arriving on the online game Fortnite, pollute the parties.

Internet users also make fun of the 2010s a lot through the video of the young Youtubeuse Pink Lily.

In her music video released in August, she sings about the characteristics of her generation by evoking in particular the Pop-it game, a small silicone board that imitates bubble wrap and that the under 12s are snapping up.

“If a large number of children do not use the platforms, for those who spend time there, it is obvious that their mental and psychological health is in real danger.

Fear invades their daily lives to go to school or return home, ”says the FCPE.

The Association calls on the government to take up the issue immediately by setting up "a large-scale watch" and developing "a real child protection policy on social networks".
