Rejected petition Ban all social media platforms, like TikTok, accounts for under 16 years old.
The government should ban from social media platforms all kids under 16 years old.
More details
The same way alcohol is banned for under 16 and other addicted habits. Social media are addicted to kids and also influence their life decisions. Bulling and violence is very common through social media as well as illegal drug dealing. There is no benefit to any kid under 16 years old of using TikTok, Facebook , Instagram. Paedophiles also have found a great area of performing their sick actions through social media to kids under 16 years old.
All social media account holders should be aged verified .
