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 Take action to restrict online access to pornography strictly to over 18s

Studies show that pornography can have serious adverse effects on individuals and their relationships. It is too easy for under 18s to access pornography online, and we want the Government to take action to ensure that it can only be accessed by over 18s.

More details

Online pornography should only be accessible using a Government-issued password or key code that is issued to over 18s. Making pornography available without a requirement to provide this should be a criminal offence.

We also want the Government to run a public awareness campaign about the dangers and risks of using pornography.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
