The Action Plan is built around: the rollout of an EU-wide app where victims of online bullying can easily get help, the coordination of national approaches to tackle harmful behaviour online, and the prevention of cyberbullying by encouraging better and safer digital practices.
Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen said:
Children and young people have the right to be safe when they are online. Cyberbullying undermines this right, leaving them feeling hurt, lonely, and humiliated. No child should be made to feel this way. This Action Plan complements our existing toolbox to protect minors online by calling on the EU and Member States to build a coordinated approach to counter cyberbullying at every level.
