Fortnite could endanger children and expose them to violence, NSPCC claims

Fortnite could be used to endanger children and show them violence and other damaging things, the NSPCC said. The game – along with similar titles like PUBG – have grown rapidly in popularity in recent months. That popularity has led to increased awareness and concern among parents and children's groups, with the NSPCC's recent warning the latest to raise worries about the game. It says that the voice chat tools within Fortnite could be used to contact children. The way the game works means that anyone can get in touch with anyone else playing the game – and the feature cannot be fully disabled. It said that research from the NSPCC had shown that one in four children have been contacted online by someone they don't know.
