Enact Timed Restrictions on Social Media Use for School-Aged Children

Petition Details

We want a "Digital Curfew" that operates as follows:
1. Social media platforms should be required to integrate an age-verification process at sign-up.
2. For users confirmed to be school-aged children, the platforms should be required to disable access from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM local time.

Additional Information

We believe this measure will foster a healthier digital environment for children, empowering them to become well-rounded individuals, free from the potential strains generated by the omnipresence of social media in their formative years.

To effect meaningful change and to align with the best interests of our children's future, we urge serious consideration and expedient action on this matter.
