Raise the legal age for appearing in pornographic content from 18 to 21

Raise the legal age for appearing in pornographic content from 18 to 21 — 8 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want the Government to increase the age to produce, appear and perform in pornographic content from 18 years old to 21 years old. We believe this would improve protections for those seeking to earn money in harmful ways at such a young age.

Additional details

We feel that 18 years old, despite being the age when someone legally becomes an adult, is too young to make decisions to appear in pornographic content which stays forever on the internet. Although we feel 21 years old is still quite young, this change could give young people a chance to mature first and think through their decision.
