Do not introduce a social media ban for under-16s. — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Do not introduce a social media ban for under 16s. Doing so may harm children more than help them.

Additional details

Do not introduce a ban for under-16s on social media. Many teenagers utilize social media every day to help cope with suicidal thoughts, depression or any other form of anxiety, banning social media may cause unnecessary stress to charities about assisting children, this also should be for parents to decide, not the government.
