Introduce a minimum age of 25 to work as a content creator in the adult industry
The minimum age to become a content creator in the adult industry should be raised to 25+ to protect the welfare of young adults and to work in alignment with the online safety act.
Young people are vulnerable and the adult industry is not a line of work that should be seen as an easy way to make money. A human brain is not fully developed until 25 years old and decisions that are made before this could have a long term lasting effect on the mental health of these individuals. We think the current news headlines are becoming a danger to society. They are advertising and glamourising the industry, therefore, allowing young adults to think that certain behaviours are deemed normal.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
