Consider revoking Social Media ban and enforcing tighter restrictions instead. — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Consider restricting the social media ban for under 13s instead of 16s,and enforcing tighter restrictions to protect younger people from cyber-bullying in a online setting.

Additional details

I think getting rid of social media for all British citizens under the age of 16 needs to be considered on a deeper level.As social media is a way to relax,chill out and decompose after a long school day.It is used as mental health support method and enforcing a ban will cause more rebellion amongst young people opening them up to further bullying issues.
