STOP UK SOCIAL MEDIA BAN

STOP UK SOCIAL MEDIA BAN — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

In my opinion, the UK government should not go any further with the social media ban for under 16s. Yes some children do have a social media addiction and that may be an issue but that should be for parents to solve. If 16+ is old enough to vote and join the army, we should be aloud social media.

Additional details

Don’t get me wrong, I agree that social media is an issue for some people but that should be up to parents/carers to solve for they’re own children. This shouldn’t mean we get our right to have social media taken off us. If 16+ is old enough to join the army and legally vote, we should be old enough to have social media especially as young adults.
