Over 1in5 UK Children view ‘inappropriate content’ on their smartphones

A study, compiled by YouGov for Carphone Warehouse has found that 21% of 8 to 15 year olds in the UK have accessed ‘inappropriate content’ from their mobile phone.

After trending for much of the day the FEM 11 hashtag caught the attention of what seemed like a fairly organised group of misogynists. Tweets like “National gathering of sandwich makers on Euston Road” and “Who’s let all these women out? Shouldn’t they be tied to a kitchen sink somewhere?” started infiltrating the #fem11 twitter stream.
