Teen-sexting on Social Network “Instagram” and it's Computational Thinking Consequences

Abstract

In this paper we summarize results of our internet survey which took place in Spring 2021 having over 3400 respondents and focused on adolescent sexting presence on the Instagram social network. We were interested in the frequency of this phenomena, awareness and general experience of adolescents with sexting and in general in Instagram social network security regarding adolescents. Results in terms of the danger of this phenomena are clear and demonstrable: a significant amount of the teenagers came across with it. The linkage and necessity of awareness in terms of secure behaviour on the internet and relevance with computational thinking is obvious but out of scope of this work.
