Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require internet-enabled devices be set to 'children's settings' by default
The intention is to require all browsers and apps on internet-enabled devices to be set to their safest / most restricted levels for searching and connectivity, with standardised settings for these levels.
More details
Currently, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to restrict internet accessibility through the tools available. The issue is that these can be complicated and confusing to administer, especially for anyone who is not IT literate. This can leave gaps that make it possible for children to be exposed to harmful content. The ask if for the introduction of a law that all internet-enabled devices need to have adult / inappropriate content disabled by default, not the other way around.
