Make Pro-Anorexia websites a criminal offence.

Closed 4,762 signatures

What the petition asks

Pro Anorexia websites make a person (often teenagers) vulnerable to eating disorders. These sites romanticise eating disorders, exchange tips and encourage eating disorders.
I know many people who's eating disorder had been fuelled or even triggered by these sites. Making Pro-anorexia sites a criminal offence will deter the making of these sites. These sites not only are Pro- Anorexia but ultimately pro-death.
