Make it illegal for children under 16 to have mobile phones with Internet access

Petition Details

Make nokias popular! All kids need is to call and send text messages. Social media and having 24/7 access to the Internet is severely damaging our children. They are the future, we need to protect them.

Additional Information

I'm sick to death of hearing young girls and boys comparing themselves to highly edited photos of celebs.
Being able to sit in the rooms and talk to absolute strangers, face time them, send pictures etc.
It's not the childhood I had and I it's certainly not the childhood I want my kids to have.
