Kids’ use of social media Infographic

As part of our social about social campaign helping parents protect their children across social media, our survey has revealed that children as young as 11 post an average of 26 times a day, attract 100 followers to every one of their profiles – yet six out of 10 of them are not real friends. We’ve created an infographic to showcase other stats that show how children around the UK use social media.
