Rejected petition Restrict all social media to over 18's only
With increasing concerns with adult content on social media, child grooming, bullying also suicide, not enough is being done to control the use of social media from children, and to combat this problem, all social media should be for over 18's only
More details
With reference to the above this issue is a serious matter and all of the above statements have increased through social media, there is enough evidence to prove this concern, and many parents have no control over this situation because a lot of the time they don't know their children are doing it, and when they do its too late, a good control measure will be to make a account is to use a passport or driving licence this will prove your age, your name etc, a ban for under 18's needs to be done.
