The Media Center of the Council of Ministers warned of the risks of online grooming, cyberbullying, and violent content in video games. It noted that the number of gamers worldwide has exceeded 3.42 billion, and that around 80% of children aged 2 to 18 play video games. According to the figures presented, 15% of preschoolers and 37% of children aged 12–15 play with strangers. In a survey in one country, 75% of children said they had been harassed while gaming, and 40% had encountered hate speech or discrimination. Grooming may begin with friendly conversations and then lead to requests for photos or personal information. Platforms may also be exploited to promote ideological influence. Advances in artificial intelligence bring new challenges, although games are not inherently dangerous when appropriate ones are chosen. To protect children, the Center recommended talking with them and keeping track of their online interactions; teaching them not to share personal information; using privacy settings; blocking and reporting offenders; and listening without blame if a child encounters an unsafe situation.
