Rejected petition: Banning Social Media sources that facilitate trends that endanger life.
Rejected on
The government has the means of banning internet based content.
TikTok in particular have been facilitating a trend amongst youths to set challenges and date others to create wildfires, for likes.
The source needs stopping to discourage people from carrying out these senseless acts.
TikTok is notorious for setting challenges, and it would appear that youths in particular are using TikTok to create their own challenges relating to the creation of videos daring others to create wildfires.
More needs to be done to control social media, that facilitates such senses acts of endangerment.
