Change the social media ban for under 13s instead of 16s

Change the social media ban for under 13s instead of 16s — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

You are thinking of banning social media for under 16s, I think you should change it to under 13s. I have had many people across social media complaining about this aswell, some children use social media to escape the reality, some use it to study/revise

Additional details

It will help childrens mental health, it will help them study with educational videos, when we have homework at school we would be able to watch YouTube videos to help us.
