Government ban on social media to be for under 13s only
Any government ban on social media that is introduced should be for under 13s only. We want people 13+ to be able to use social media. Not just 16+, as we believe 13 is reasonable as you are officially a teen and responsible for yourself.

Background
We want this to happen as many teens in the UK will be affected by the ban and we believe the proposed age limit for the ban is too high and want to lower it to apply to under 13s only.
