To not ban social media for under 16's
I would like the parliament to rethink the decision of banning social media for under 16's. Social media is a way for people to find new interests, teach you things such as how to sing or dance and more. With this ban, people under 16 would be unprepared to use it as social media is developing.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: "Do not ban social media for under 16s" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/757233
