Violent clips, online conflicts and shock-value challenges can spread rapidly across social media platforms. Many young people are exposed to this content through algorithms or messaging groups, even when they were not actively searching for it.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide explores how viral trends can encourage risky behaviour, normalise violence and create anxiety or fear within communities.
The guide also highlights:
• The emotional and legal risks of sharing violent content
• How social media algorithms amplify harmful material
• Practical advice for parents and educators
