All social media should be age restricted to the age of 16, requiring NI number

Petition Details

All social media should be restricted to people who are 16 years or older. Providing a national insurance number should be a requirement to start an account, therefore only one account per one person.

Additional Information

Social media is an over demanding thing that is responsible for depression, anxiety, bullying and general mental heath issues and makes it too easy to share inappropriate information or for people to approach children. Children shouldn't have the ability to talk to strangers and be influenced as to what their body should look like, when they haven't even decided what they want to do after they leave school.
