Make it illegal to post photos of under 16s online

Petition Details

It’s about time children were properly protected. Too many parents post photos of their under 16s on social media and the children don’t get a say. People post photos of other peoples' children without a care as to whether those parents are ok with it. Things need to change to protect children.

Additional Information

Children can be put at risk due to the craze of posting photos of children all over the internet/social media. Photos of under 18s shouldn’t be posted online as they should be protected from the dangers out there.

There’s no reason a child’s image needs to be anywhere online and most children don’t get a say over what their parents do, so the law needs to step up to protect them.
