Make the playing of the game ‘Fortnite’ a violation of law.
Fortnite is a game which is taking over children of the UK and is affecting their education and mental health. For example, a child can begin playing Fortnite then quickly become addicted and lose sleep, greatly reducing potential at school and also eliminating time to spend with family.
As one example of addiction to Fortnite, a girl of age 9 was sent to rehab due to addiction to Fortnite of such a degree that she ended up ‘wetting herself to continue playing’. This clearly shows the extent that some are going to play this game of violence.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for banning specific video games. That's the responsibility of the Video Standards Council, which is responsible in the UK for implementing the PEGI age rating system which is used in over 30 countries throughout Europe.
