Asking for the Goverment to change age limits on these apps to the minimum age of 16 and have to use age verification before there allowed on the apps. The apps should be held more accountable for their actions and the way the deal with child groomers and inappropriate videos.

This needs to be changes and made 16 at the minimum with age verification and the apps should do more to protect our kids and vulnerable people.
