The @ntidote project finds that adolescents and emerging adults regularly encounter OHS and NCII online. Whereas adolescents and emerging adults are often confronted with these behaviours, there is clearly a wide variety in understanding of what constitutes OHS and NCII. Age, sexual orientation (for OHS) and ethnicity are relevant criteria for higher levels of victimisation. Victims report a an emotive impact of these behaviours. The research further showed that notwithstanding the substantial impact, digital natives will not easily contact law enforcement or victim support organisations. Filing a criminal complaint might also not be the most effective step, as complaints of OHS and NCII are often discontinued due to procedural reasons, capacity, or prioritisation. Conclusions also show a wide variety in rules and procedures applied by online service providers in removing OHSand NCII as well as in collaborating with victim support organisations. The study concludes with recommendations as to media literacy, legal framework, enforcement, victim support and research as antidotes to OHS and NCII.
