Change the social media ban from under 16’s to under 13’s
Instead of banning social media for under 16s they should ban it for under 13’s since 16 is too high of an age and over thirteens are teenagers and then it should be up to the parents from the age 13 to 16
More people have said that if there is to be a ban it should be for under 13’s instead of under 16’s since under thirteen would be a more suitable age for the ban
