Petition Require media containing edited human features include a symbol showing this

I would like to see a symbol placed on every piece of media containing human features, including newspapers, magazines, adverts and social media viewed in the UK, to show if they have been edited, including filters and photoshop.

More details

The pressure on women and men in society today, particularly young adults to 'look good' is hugely based on what we see in the media. This is leading people to believe that we should look like this when in reality many of these images have been heavily edited. Having a symbol to show when media has been edited will help with understanding that these images are not an accurate representation, and could help prevent the negative effects this can have on mental health.
