Make it illegal to publish online material promoting anorexia/bulimia/self-harm

Petition Details

As someone who has seen friends struggle with eating disorders, it is horrible to see how easy it is to find pro Ana blogs and diets on tumblr and other websites. I think it should be illegal for websites to publish material that promotes self-harming and eating disorders.

Additional Information

Too many children nowadays are so worried about their weight it’s disgusting, websites should be held accountable for the way their content promotes self-harm and eating disorders.

Protecting young people from online adult content is one thing, but continuing to promote self-harm, anorexia and bulimia is just as bad.

I believe any website or blog that promotes these things whether Facebook, tumblr, Twitter, Instagram should be held accountable by a new law.
