Ban social media for children under 16
Force social media companies to take responsibility and ensure that no-one under 16 is able to use their platforms in the UK.
Why is this important?
Social media apps have been shown to be a huge danger to children over and over again. It's time to pass a law to force the makers of the apps to take responsibility, and ensure that no-one under 16 is able to use social media apps in the UK.
Let's hold the likes of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to account, and cut them off from access to our children.
The dangers of how children interact on social media currently being highlighted in Netflix show Adolescence.
Young, impressionable minds are being driven to dangerous places by profit-hungry social media companies. Children are being exposed to huge harm, from online bullying, to toxic characters like Andrew Tate, or even algorithms that promote eating disorders and more, social media has become a dangerous unregulated wild west for our children.
