Petition Make it a mandatory minimum age of 18 to join all social media platforms.

Children under the age of 18 are exposed to adult content, videos of violence and sexual content on social media sites, some that have age requirements of 13 years to join.
This is damaging to society.

More details

Young girls are exposed to sexual content and images that are digitally altered, which has a huge effect on mental health. 18 years old should be a minimum age to engage on these platforms.
