Petition Ban all convicted child sex offenders from using social media

I would like the government to introduce a law that prevents all convicted child sex offenders from using social media. It’s been proved time and time again that social media is used by paedophiles to target and groom vulnerable children.

More details

We believe we are encouraging this behaviour by not taking action on putting into place strict laws that stop these predators from abusing our children.
