Rejected petition: Don't ban social media
Rejected on
Don't ban media as people use it to communicate to their friend,people struggling in this world find it easier to communicate with people online and find friends.Also some social platforms,For example like youtube have educational videos which help you out.It also helps you keep in touch with family
I agree that we need to change our social media times.Instead of banning it completely you should add a curfew.For example you should close social media apps such as youtube,snapchat,instagram for under 16s at 9 pm but you should also add a time limit of an hour and 45 minutes.We need to stick together and change our U.K but in a different way.Instead of banning it,the government should give us more clubs to do at schools and should fund schools more to create more clubs which are inclusive for everyone.
